Welcome to the 2016-2017 Toastmasters year, an extraordinary year with a diverse and dynamic team of 15 District elected leaders! In addition, we have 5 managers, 50 area directors, dozens of District Chairs and many assistant roles offering a uniquely combined set of knowledge, experience, and talents. The new Founder’s District leadership team is listed below for your information.
My vision for Founder’s District this year is to:
- advance the work of Founder’s District
- LEAD Founder’s District’s 220+ clubs in over 50+ cities from Los Angeles to Orange Counties.
- prepare both Founder’s District and the forthcoming Century District (District 100) to achieve excellence.
We can accomplish this vision together by:
- going back to the basics of putting the “Members First”
- living out the values of Toastmasters International: Integrity, Respect, Service and Excellence.
We will support YOU, the members to Expand Your Horizons.
We will make all Toastmasters events affordable, enjoyable and valuable to the members–making them worth your precious time.
By doing this we will:
- RETAIN quality members
- ATTRACT members who want a life-long learning experience
- GROW quality clubs
- ACHIEVE excellence
Let us focus on our club members and our core values of Integrity, Respect, Service, and Excellence. We will continue to expand our horizons to make the most of what Toastmasters has to offer.
EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS!
