It is my honor, blessing, and privilege to be serving District 44 as your Club Growth Director for the 2022 – 2023 Toastmasters Year. For those that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, I have been a Toastmaster since December of 2015, earned my Distinguished Toastmaster designation in June of 2020 through the traditional curriculum, and am currently working my way through Level 4 of the Leadership Development path with a goal of earning my second DTM in June of 2023. In addition to personally being a wife and a mother of two, I work professionally for Bank of America as a Vice President of Treasury Sales Officer on the Global Commercial Banking team. I love all things fashion, poetry, music, and art and as an athlete, sports fanatic, and native of Youngstown, Ohio, I am a fan of The Ohio State University and remain active by playing basketball and volleyball recreationally. I have a passion for empowering others and have a mission in life to leave people, places, and things better than when I found them.

As Club Growth Director, my role within the District is to manage all processes surrounding Club Creation, Club Quality, and Club Retention. To accomplish this goal, my objective for the 2022 – 2023 Toastmasters year is to L.I.F.T. up Toastmasters by:

• Providing a Leading Launch to prospective members and clubs by inspiring them to take initiate over their personal and professional development with Toastmasters
• Creating Impactful Immersion of our existing members and clubs into a thriving, exhilarating, and enjoyable community connected by our common goals, life experiences, and desires
• Reminding members and clubs experiencing hardships of the Familiar Foundation that Toastmasters has laid out for us based on the core principles of integrity, respect, service, and excellence
• Utilizing Truthful Transformation to uncover our District’s Moments of Truths in order to grow and expand into unchartered territories, businesses, and organizations within our community

My vision for completing the task assigned to me as Club Growth Director is to create connection within our community through transforming its perception, approach, and experience with and towards communication and leadership. To put it plainly, my goal this year is to bring back the fun of Toastmasters. Toastmasters is not just simply something that we do. Toastmasters is a lifestyle. We are Toastmasters. Let’s live and breathe in that truth together and bring others along for the amazing journey. I have my GPS set to arrive on time in completing my wildest dreams and aspirations by the end of the 2022 – 2023 Toastmasters year. What’s your ETA?

Thank you for this opportunity, District 44, and I look forward to evolving together!
