Why did you join Toastmasters?
Did you join because you wanted to improve your communication skills?
|
As a member you might have soon realized that not only were your communication skills improving, but your leadership skills were as well.
The next step for your growth may be to serve as a club officer or as a district officer. The Leadership Committee is currently looking for members who want to take the next step in their growth as a member. Opportunities include serving as an Area Director, Division Director, or beyond.
Area Directors are appointed. Division Directors as well as Club Growth, Program Quality and District Director are elected.
If you are interested in taking your leadership and communication skills to the next level talk to your Area Director or contact Jacquie Schnider, DTM PID. There are qualifications for each position. If you are interested we can send you more information.
