THANK YOU for taking the time to visit my website. Running for International Director was an easy decision for me. I am eager, willing, and able to continue helping the organization that has given me so many benefits from its educational programs. Toastmasters has definitely shaped my life, just as Toastmasters IS Shaping Our World, One Member at a Time. I believe in TEAMWORK, MENTORING, and giving members OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW. I have been a Toastmaster for over 12 years in District 5. As District Governor in 2002-2003, I led my TEAM and District 5 to Distinguished District. Since that time I have continued to help support my district and Region II. I am most proud of helping mentor the past two district governors for District 5 and their TEAMS to achieve their goals of Distinguished District. I am equally proud to have served as Conference Chair for the 2007 Region II Conference that was held in San Diego this past June 2007. I have an excellent reputation as a trainer, presenter, mentor and a proven leader who gets the job done. In a nutshell I work and play well with OTHERS! MY VISION I am committed to helping our district teams achieve their goals so that all our members reap the benefits of strong clubs, areas, divisions and districts. I am also committed to sharing the benefits of Toastmasters with others so that our educational programs are known worldwide as THE most effective method of personal and career enhancement by building strong communication and leadership skills. I am committed to helping make our organization the BRAND when it comes to COMMUNICATION & LEADERSHIP. I am committed to serving YOU AND ALL Toastmaster Members throughout the world.
