Every Toastmaster I have ever met, has not only enjoyed their membership experience, but praised the training they received in communication and leadership from the Toastmaster programs.

And who amongst us does not have a story to tell about another member of their club who has shown amazing strides in their speaking and/or leadership abilities since joining our Toastmasters?

In spite of it all, Toastmasters still remains one of the best kept secrets in the world. Let’s change that.... at least here in District 60..!!

Most of us have a friend or relative or co-worker who we know would benefit from the same experiences. Let’s give them that chance.

The reasons that people join Toastmasters are all founded on a desire to succeed. For individual success to take place, the individual clubs need to provide a strong and supportive setting that allows achievement to take place.

As your Lieutenant Governor Marketing for 2010-2011, I am totally committed to helping you strengthen your clubs by increasing your club membership, and develop new clubs in your Area and Division. All of which will increase the richness of our mutual Toastmaster experience.

Every club you build, and every club you help means that more people are receiving the life-changing benefits that only you and I as Toastmasters can, and do, deliver.

Many of us have made close, lasting friendships with people we’ve met in Toastmasters. It was Will Rogers who once said, “A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet.”. Let’s meet some new friends by helping others benefit from the Toastmaster programs.

There are few greater gifts you could bestow on another human being than by giving them the opportunity to become more competent and confident when communicating with others.

Let’s do it together.
