Provider of social introductions to a smart set possibly (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toastmaster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'provider of social introductions' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'to a smart set possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'smart'+'set'='smartset'
'smartset' anagrammed gives 'stmaster'.
'to'+'a'+'stmaster'='TOASTMASTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toastmaster that I've seen before include "Master of ceremonies at a banquet" , "MC at formal dinner" , "one announces at dinner" , "Official at formal dinner" , "Announcer at public dinner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
