I never imagined the journey I would travel when I visited my first Toastmaster meeting in February 2008. I was welcomed with open arms; everyone’s kindness helped put me at ease. Within a few weeks I presented my first speech … then my second … third … I was having a great time.
Previously when I became involved in an activity, I would completely absorb myself in it. When I joined TM, I had every intention to “just be a member” and “not get involved”. When I was approached to “fill-in” for our club secretary I was very reluctant. I was reassured it was only for a short time. That was the turning point for me. I realized club leadership was the next step for growth and development.
I became the VPPR in July 2008. I like marketing, so I thought what better opportunity to do what I enjoy – market Toastmasters. Then in January 2009 I became the VPE. As VPE, I had the privilege of helping members achieve their goals and elevate our club to President’s Distinguished for 2008 – 2009.
The last 2½ years have been exciting and fulfilling. I have:
♦ Achieved CC, ACB, ACS and 2-CL’s and ALB education designations ♦ Sponsored Jabil Toastmasters ♦ Club officer – President (Jabil), VPE & VPPR (Tampa Bay), VPM (President’s Club) ♦ Area 73 Governor – President’s Distinguished Area ♦ Assisted with planning of spring and fall conferences ♦ TLI presenter ♦ Publisher and website administrator for the District 47’s Best Club Newsletter & Website ♦ TLI Coordinator ♦ Division G Governor – Future President’s Distinguished Division One of the greatest experiences has been working with club members, and as an AG working with the clubs. I love to see members grow as speakers & leaders. I am thankful for the personal growth & development Toastmasters provided. I am honored to serve Division G and District 47.
