The Toastmaster's Story
For more than 70 years, the Toastmaster magazine has brought news and information to thousands of Toastmasters members around the world. From a mimeographed 4-page newsletter in 1935, it has grown to become a leading authority in communication and leadership, available in many libraries worldwide. Published monthly, it offers a unique and informative perspective on a wide range of topics related to self-improvement. Its articles have a how-to focus, written by members and various experts who share tips on how to be a better communicator and leader – inside Toastmasters as well as at home and on the job.
Our members rely on the Toastmaster magazine as an educational resource, motivation for personal development and inspiration for speeches. Common article topics include public speaking, leadership, career development, networking, presentation technology, language usage and marketing.
More than 2,000 major companies and organizations sponsor in-house Toastmasters clubs as communication-training workshops for their employees. A few of these companies are:
| Dell Computers |
Dupont |
IBM |
| Marriott International |
MasterCard International |
McGraw-Hill |

| Walt Disney Co. |
