PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City Toastmasters Club has elected Karen Stone as its new president while celebrating 25 years of helping local residents strengthen public‑speaking and leadership skills.

Founded in 2000, the club has guided hundreds of professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs through weekly meetings that emphasize confidence, clear communication and supportive feedback. Stone, a longtime Park City resident and relatively new Toastmaster, will lead the organization for the 2025‑26 term.

“It’s an honor to serve such an inspiring group of individuals,” Stone said. “This club has been a launchpad for so many personal and professional transformations — including my own. I’m excited to lead us into the next chapter.”
