I have grown so much through Toastmasters. I am looking forward to the 2011-2012 Toastmasters year as I embark on the next step of my leadership journey. I am sure that you are also excited to travel the new road before you.

As we receive the benefits of Toastmasters, it is important to remember to give back to the organization that has given us so much. You have taken a step to do this by taking on a district leadership role. Remember, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it and grow as a leader.

I encourage you to take one extra step - serve as a club sponsor, mentor or coach. This is an exciting opportunity to exercise and expand your organization, coaching, and motivation skills. The best way to give back is by paying it forward to nurture future fellow Toastmasters.

I invite you to join me to reach up, reach out and together we will grow our leadership skills, our clubs and our district.

Carol Donohue, DTM
Lieutenant Governor Marketing 2011-2012
