“Shortly after she joined Toastmasters in 2014, Zenia recognized that her membership was going to enable more than her public speaking skills. She recognized the benefits of leading in a volunteer organization; these inspired her to attain the Distinguished Toastmaster designation in 2018. She has served District 56 as a Club Officer Training Committee Co-Chair and Trainer; she co-presented FreeToastHost training in the Online Leadership Electives Program, and was the District 56 Distinguished Club Program Chairperson. She’s the proud recipient of the 2020 Club VP Public Relations of the Year award. Her Toastmasters’ journey has enriched her personal life and motivated her to support others on their journey. Her goal… to share the Toastmasters benefits with the diverse Southeast Texas community so that they too will be inspired and empowered to become confident speakers and leaders. Zenia is a retiree who enjoys traveling, reading, and time with family and friends.”
