The nonprofit organization now has nearly 250,000 members in more than 12,500 clubs in 106 countries, offering a proven – and enjoyable! – way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.<br /><br />Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Good communicators tend to be good leaders. Some well-known Toastmasters alumni include:<br /><br />    * Peter Coors of Coors Brewing Company<br />    * Debbi Fields, founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies<br />    * Tom Peters, management expert and author<br />    * Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawaii<br /><br />（TOASTMASTER　INTERNATIONAL　のHPより抜粋）<br /><a href="http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/WhatisToastmasters.aspx">http://www.toastmasters.org/MainMenuCategories/WhatisToastmasters.aspx</a> </div>        <div class="both10"></div>      </div>          </div>  <!-- end of left_box -->  </div><!-- end of pagebody_outline -->
