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. We
are a local chapter of Toastmasters International
Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which
gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public
speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and
speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 200,000
men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 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 better communicators.
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with
others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made
up of 20 to 30 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.
