DISTIGUISHED CLUBs

new clubs

Like me, many of you began this Toastmasters journey in search of growth (communication and/or leadership). Once you gain access to tools and resources, why stay? I stayed because someone saw my failed efforts and reached out to me, encouraged me and taught me how to lead. She helped me find my voice and gain the confidence I lacked. The efforts of one member, Carla Pope, is why I’m passionate about the Power of One. “Reach One, Teach One, Keep One” is not a slogan for me, it’s my passion. Like Carla, I want to be that One spark for someone else and encourage you to do the same.

- Rose W. Bradford, DTM, District 56 Director

Bringing the gift of Toastmasters to new members and clubs drives me to serve you. Witnessing members develop into better versions of themselves each day is an amazing experience. Toastmasters growing and learning together....priceless.

- Jo Idoux DTM, Program Quality Director

Toastmasters helped me not only in becoming a better communicator, better leader, but also a better person. These skills I learned in Toastmasters helped me both personally and professionally. It is my time to give back and help other Toastmasters to grow and become better leaders and better communicators.

- Chandra Munagavalasa, DTM, Club Growth Director

Now is the time for District 56 to embrace Acknowledgement and develop a Growth Mindset as part of our daily actions. Acknowledgement focuses not just on the specific accomplishment but also the person behind the action, while having a Growth mindset allows us to view failure as an avenue toward success. And finally IT IS TIME for us to come together and become the best, both individually and as a District, we can be.

- Kathy R. Kest DTM, Immediate Past District Director
