Toastmasters International
From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. The nonprofit organization offers a proven and enjoyable way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared or an impromptu speech, to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right, and what could be improved.

The club was chartered in 1939. After changing club names a couple of times over the years, it finally settled to Joseph P.

Today, the club is a member of the District One Toastmasters. Joseph P. Rinnert Toastmasters Club is one of the smaller and intimate clubs of the district, where your communication, listening and leadership skills are immediately put to work in a relaxed and fun environment. Its members come from all walks of life, including students, corporate professionals, and entrepreneurs, to name a few. In support of a diverse culture in Southern California, the club is open to the public.
