Toastmasters InternationalFact Sheet 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.

In August 1973, membership opens to women.

Today Toastmasters International is the undisputed world

leader in public speaking training, with over 13,000 clubs and

more than 270,000 members in approximately 116 countries.
