Opportunities Ahead

The world needs good leaders! Would you like to be one of those leaders that inspires a team to achieve more than they could ever have imagined on their own? Would you like to be able to develop your skills in a supportive environment before taking on a bigger leadership role at work? Toastmasters gives us the opportunity to safely practice the leadership skills we need for our careers and community activities.

On Wednesday, May 25 CTI will be holding the elections of club officers. If you would like to further develop your leadership skills, offer to take on one of the club officer positions. You are never alone. The other members of the team will help and there are club officer trainings twice a year where you can get ideas and tips related to the role. Several of our experienced Toastmasters have offered to be mentors for anyone who would like to have a mentor for the first few months of the role. Anyone who is interested in taking on a club officer role may contact Val or Linda to indicated you will let your name stand.

Another option is to offer to help on any one of the committees that support the club officers. For instance, I would be willing to help the VP Education by working on the education committee.

Please plan to attend to show your support of the members who have agreed to run for next year's slate of officers.Without a quorum, the elections cannot be held. We have had a great year this year under Val's leadership. We are a President's Distinguished Club. Let's have another great year next year!
