Yukon-Alaska Council of Toastmasters
2007-2008
The Yukon-Alaska Council of Toastmasters (YACT) covers the entire Yukon Territories of Canada and the State of Alaska in the United States. We have some unique challenges because of the great distances between our clubs and members, but are fortunate to have a dynamic group of people in our leadership.
We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions about YACT and Toastmasters!
For an overview of the YACT leadership, see this organization chart (PDF file) (revised September 2007). For a list of the clubs in YACT, see the Club Listings page. For a more detailed description of each position, click the name of the position for a PDF file.
