Toastmasters: Build It and They Will Come

I am a candidate for 3rd Vice President of Toastmasters International because I believe in this organization, and I have a vision for its future. I wear my Toastmasters pin with pride!

These are important times for our organization. We have evolved from a North American based group of public speakers to a worldwide community of communicators and leaders. To continue to grow and serve requires us to revise our approach and processes. We need an adaptable organization led by nimble leaders. I believe I can lead Toastmasters to that goal.

What is your dream for Toastmasters International? In your mind’s eye, do you see an organization that grows substantially every year? One that keeps dues low while serving the needs of clubs? Is it an international organization with a thriving membership on every continent? “Are young people clamoring to join?”

Toastmasters: If you build it, they will come. My dream is to continue the legacy begun 85 years ago by another Ralph, our founder, Ralph Smedley.

I look forward to talking with you soon about my experiences and qualifications. I want to share with you my vision and how we can continue building Toastmasters. Explore and learn from my web site. I invite you to visit often as this site will be built upon my conversations with you.

Thank you for all your service to our organization. You make a difference for so many people and those you serve in turn make a difference for a multitude. The servant leader such as you is the key to the success of Toastmasters. From the club to the district and to all those who serve at the International level, we come together create a team of success. We wear the pin of Toastmasters with pride.

I offer myself to Toastmasters: To serve. To dream. And to build. Will you proudly wear your pin and stand with me?
