About Toastmasters Toastmasters is an organization devoted to helping people speak more effectively. Toastmasters International's business and services are administered by its world headquarters, located in Rancho Santa Margarita.
Toastmasters employs no paid promoters or instructors.
They have no salaried staff except the executive director and world headquarters staff, who provide services to the clubs and districts. At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Valencia Toastmasters meeting is made up of 15 to 30 people who meet once a week for about an hour. This helps members learn basic meeting procedures. Projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion.
