Looking for more opportunities to deliver prepared speeches, I joined Santa Cruz Orators earlier this year when they were meeting in-person at the Tannery Arts Center.  I was immediately impressed with the camaraderie of the club and their commitment to help each other grow.

"I’ve transformed my speaking skills since joining Santa Cruz Orators,” says member Analisa Baker. “When I joined the club I was seeking more confidence and competence in speaking and presenting. SCO has many seasoned speakers who have been with the club for a long time and offer great support and mentorship. We enjoy a diverse membership and have fun learning together."

Santa Cruz Orators (SCO) Toastmasters club, formerly known as Santa Cruz Operations (SCO) Toastmasters club was founded at Santa Cruz Operations where they made waves by being the first Unix operating system to distribute an internet browser.

The company was founded by graduates from the local University of California, Santa Cruz.  The SCO club continues to honor the SCO cultural legacy.

"...the (SCO) culture was very Santa Cruz oriented, it was fun, but also extremely intelligent, very high tech, very ambitious, very idealistic, those are all things that are very Santa Cruz," Peggy Dolgenes,  co-founder  and CEO of Cruzio.

The history of Santa Cruz Operations is legendary among the technology community of Santa Cruz.
