In October 1924, a group of men
assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement
of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club
to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in
presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship
among its members. The group took the name Toastmasters.

Today, Toastmasters International
is a non-profit organization which gives its

their public speaking abilities through local club meetings,
training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International

10,000 clubs in more than 80 countries!
Experienced professionals and beginning
speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face
learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors,
your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can
help you do it better. You'll learn and practice in a friendly,
comfortable environment with people who are there
for the same reason you areto become
a better communicator.
At Toastmasters, members learn by
speaking to groups and working with others
in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters
club is made up of 12 to 20 people who meet once a week for
about an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to
practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches,
presenting prepared speeches, and offering
constructive evaluation.
