 Welcome and Wow! District 59 is President´s Distinguished for the second year in a row.
Thanks to your contributions and commitment, we finished the year as one of the best six districts in the world. We are fourth out of 82 Toastmaster districts.
Everyone in the District deserves a “High Five”. What an achievement!
All the support and attempts that were made in the last month of the Toastmasters year to make it to Number One were fantastic. We received lots of “good luck” wishes. Members finished their CCs. More leader awards were registered than ever before. New clubs were charted. Everyone pulled together, giving all they could, wanting to be the best.
You can all be very proud of (y)our accomplishments!
This attempt to make “number one” made it obvious to me that there is a tremendous amount of positive energy, strength and creativity in our District. There is tremendous talent all around just waiting to be tapped.
By collaborating all the strengths that each one of us has, we can create a positive environment for learning. By giving speech projects, taking on roles in the meetings, serving as an officer in the clubs, giving feedback or asking friends to join, we bring skills, energy and talent into the Toastmasters program.
As you look toward the future, imagine moving from good to great by tapping your talents, sharing your knowledge and experiences, and honing your communication and leadership skills. The skills you learn and practice at Toastmasters will give you vital tools to use in your everyday lives. Are you aware of what these skills are? Are you aware that the more one gives into the program the greater are the benefits and individual gain?
Imagine continuing your quest to be even better, to realize your full potential. In that moment you are the “best” you can be.
And District 59? Let´s strive this Toastmasters year to collectively make Number One happen. I challenge us to “be the best”. Starting now!
See you on the way to the top.
Barbara Hoerger, DTM
District 59 Governor 2011-2012
