Thank you for being a Toastmaster member in District ONE, and for electing me as your 2008 – 2009 District Governor! I am humbled by the opportunity to serve you. District ONE’s theme this year is … “Toastmasters – Serve ONE, Serve All.”
This past year, there has been an increased number of educational and leadership awards earned by members in District ONE. As a result, there has also been an increase in the number of Distinguished (or better) Clubs. On the Toastmasters International website, 51 Clubs have reached distinguished club status or better. I anticipate that this number will increase once all the data has been tabulated and the year-end results are published.
In addition, there has also been an increase in the number of members attending the District-sponsored Club Officer training. For the past year and half, we have seen records number of people attending the Toastmasters Learning College (TLC) with attendance almost topping 300. The June 26 TLC at Los Angeles Southwest College was not the exception. Despite the fact that the training was held in June versus July, it did not in any way impact the number of people attending the TLC. It is wonderful to see that Clubs understand and appreciate the value in having their Club officers trained. Attendance at our District Conferences is also on the rise with over 200 people attending the 2008 Spring District Conference.
During this new term, each member is encouraged to work toward earning his/her next educational and leadership award, become involved in activities outside of the Club, mentor a new member and, to set new goals. With the support and commitment of each of you, District ONE is sure to experience continued success.
Thank you!
