We look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
Christian Cokson,
VP PR 2009-2010 Prestigious Speakers.
Fellow Prestigious Speakers members,
I hope everyone is getting comfortable in using Easy-Speak for the meeting management. Once you will be the Toastmaster of the Evening, you will appreciate all the features of this new system. It makes easy to confirm which other members will be coming, distribute the roles automatically and invite guests.
Here are the two most important things you need to know:
-> How do I book a speech for a future meeting? (description and video)
-> How can I say that I will [will not] attend a meeting and accept [reject] a role? (description)
In case you forgot your password, click on the "I forgot my password" link on the Log in page. Your user name is usually "lastname + first letter of firstname".
Please let me know any questions you might have!
Cheers, Kai Steinbach - IT support.

| Welcome to District 59 |
Dear Toastmasters of District 59,
 Did you know in which special district you are a Toastmasters member?
At the start of the Toastmaster term the district includes 18 countries in continental Europe, 152 active clubs, and I don´t dare to estimate the cultural diversity. Also we speak a variety of languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish. More languages are planned.
Don´t you think this remarkable? And YOU are a part of this!
With all the variety (or diversity): What do we have in common?
Personal growth! We all meet to grow confidence – no matter which culture, language or country. You as a member are in the focus of Toastmasters. District 59 supports you to learn and grow.
In all clubs I see members striving to get better and helping each other to achieve their goals.
What is your personal goal? Do you want to be a great speaker, professional trainer, or rather a leader? Or simply have fun speaking up?
Whatever you personally want in order to achieve it – you set your goals and then define steps to get there. For over 85 years Toastmasters provides a program for success. As district leaders we work with your clubs so you can accomplish your goals!
As our International President Gary Schmidt puts it: Toastmasters: Confidence. Leadership. Service.
Another area to focus on is: we still have 4 countries and quite a bunch of cities allover Europe where there is no Toastmsters club at all – yet. What about showing them the key to success in personal growth? Spread the word – help them building a club.
Let´s bring Toastmasters to even more members, more individuals to benefit from our program.
Let´s master the – sometimes – challenges together and have a lot of fun in our district:

As District Governor she considers it an honour to serve the district members and lead 54 leaders. She supports the Division Governors to run their Divisions as small organizations in themselves.
