Toastmasters International is a non-profit network of clubs that develop communication and leadership skills. It has clubs in all parts of North America. Each club in North America is part of a District, which is usually divided into Divisions then into Areas. A few Districts include clubs from both sides of an international border, mostly United States and Canada. However, for ease of use, club web sites are categorized by continent, country and state/province, following the Open Directory Project's Regional hierarchy.
