Toastmasters CELEBRATES 100 YEARS!


Toastmasters International is a non-profi t educational organization that builds confi dence and teaches public speaking skills through a


worldwide network of clubs that meet online and in person. In a supportive community or corporate environment, members prepare and deliver speeches, respond to impromptu questions, and give and receive constructive feedback.


“Over the years, we have heard from many people who stutter who have joined Toastmasters,” said the Stuttering Foundation’s Jane Fraser. “Many


have been surprised at how many people, without stuttering, are afraid of public speaking. That is one of the reasons Toastmasters has such success – everyone learns to become a better communicator regardless of what talents they bring with them when they join.”

For more than 30 years, the Stuttering Foundation has attended the annual convention of the American Academy of Pediatrics—this year’s event was held in Washington, D.C.


“When parents have questions or concerns about the health and development of their children, the fi rst place they look for advice is from their doctor,” said Stuttering Foundation President Jane Fraser. “As a result, pediatricians have become the fi rst source of information on stuttering for many families.”


By providing books, videos and brochures to conference attendees, the Stuttering Foundation ensures timely and accurate information is always available to pediatrician offi ces for parents of children who stutter.


In addition, the Stuttering Foundation regularly mails more than 46,000 copies of its seminal book on children who stutter to pediatricians nationwide.
