History of POWERtalk and our Chapter
POWERtalk was founded in 1938 in San Francisco under the name International
Toastmistress Clubs. It started primarily for women, but is now open to both men and women. In 1985 the organization's
name was changed to International Training in Communication. In 2003 our
international headquarters relocated from Anaheim, California to New Zealand. In July 2007 the decision was made to rebrand
the organization as POWERtalk International while officially retaining
the ITC name.
We are in no way affiliated with Toastmasters International.
POWERtalk welcomes all interested individuals without regard to age, race, religion, citizenship or national
origin.
The New Directions chapter was
chartered in December 1963, and its membership has been active ever since. Our chapter has welcomed civil servants, teachers,
housewives, engineers, nurses, high school and university students, retirees... basically anyone with a desire for self-improvement.
