Welcome to the opening pitch of the 2012 – 2013 Season.
With the new Executive of the Venio Dictum Toastmasters Club taking office as of July 1st, I thought it would be a good opportunity to get everyone up to speed on what I am seeing. But let me introduce your executive team “line up”.
In as our Sergeant of Arms is Tom. Tom is a relatively new member of our club, but is "taking the bull by the horns" and will be making sure our room is all set up, introducing me every meeting and maintaining our club resources.
Our Secretary Alexis took on the occasional role of “Acting Secretary” last year, so she will just walk into her new shoes pretty easily I expect. Alexis is skilled at being the person in charge of correspondence and doing our Minutes.
Treasurer – Nicolette – will be a new face to many of our members, but she is actually returning from a year of schooling abroad to resume the position she held in the 2010-11 Season.
The website and public visibility (marketing) falls into the domain of our VP of Public Relations – Andrew Smith. Andrew will be working very closely with our VP of Membership, Ray Larkins as both these roles support and empower each other
Janet is our VP of Education. Janet brings with her a wealth of experience with our club and has proven how growing your skills in Toastmasters can improve your life. Janet and me are confident with the membership we have, that Venio Dictum will return to being a Distinguished Club in the coming year.
As you can see, our line up is strong and I was filled with pride and anticipation of getting onto the playing surface, to stretch our legs.
I look forward to seeing everyone in September,
Glenn Laycock, President
Venio Dictum Toastmasters Club
