Dr. Ralph C. Smedley.
Today Toastmasters International is represented in 90 countries, with almost 11,300 clubs and 220,000 members. The success of Toastmasters is due to the ongoing development of its educational programs and servicing the needs of its members through clubs.


Toastmasters International - a nonprofit organization - has helped more than four miilion men and women to conquer their fears of public speaking. It is the largest non-profit communication and leadership development organization in the world.

All work of the club is done by volunteer members, even the development of this web site. Club members organize their own meetings, elect their own club officers and take responsibility for the club activities.

You will find that every club is slightly different to each other. Though they use the same resource materials. Our strength is in the different skills and varied background of our members. Members are the primary resource of a club.

When you join Toastmasters, a world of learning and development opportunities opens up for you. So take the time to visit a club and you will see that Toastmasters provides quality resources and friendly environment. at an affordable price.

Toastmasters International offers a " learn - by - doing " program in which participants hone their skills in a comfortable and supportive club atmosphere. Constructive feed-back , or evaluation, is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Whenever a member presents a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out the presentation's strengths and offer suggestion for improvement on weak points.

Who can be a Toastmaster ?

Toastmasters come from all walks of life and are rewarded with personal and career growth. Toastmasters can earn speaking as well as leadership awards. Leadership skills are built when members help to organize and conduct meetings and motivate others. Each club has a committee where members are given the opportunity to serve as a Club leader, another important life skill.
