Confident Voices: The Story of 91´«Ã½ is a beautifully designed coffee table book that describes and illustrates the first century of 91´«Ã½. In 1924, founder Dr. Ralph C. Smedley launched his visionary idea to help individuals develop speaking skills and nurture their self-confidence. Learn how his simple concept—to teach people communication and leadership skills in an experiential learning setting—grew from a single club into the global communication powerhouse that it is today.
Confident Voices explores the people, events, and stories that shaped 91´«Ã½ in this decade-by-decade analysis. The book features 454 pages, 500+ images, vintage Toastmaster magazine images, matte hardcover, ribbon bookmark, and more.

- How the education program evolved from a simple pamphlet to a robust digital learning program
- The enduring spirit of prisoner-of-war clubs in WWII and the Vietnam War
