The Immediate Past District Director’s role is to provide guidance and advice to District leaders and lead committees as requested by the District Director. I have agreed to take the role of District Leadership Chair for the coming year, which is what I am really looking forward to. I will continue to serve as a member of the District Executive Committee and District Council, and will focus on upholding the Bylaws and Policies of Toastmasters International, encourage dedicated members to accept leadership positions, and help the District achieve Distinguished recognition.
