BE a Toastmasters leader : Call for nominations for the District 59 Officers Team 2020 – 2021

Dear fellow Toastmasters, is this YOUR opportunity to lead?

Taking on a leadership role in Toastmasters allows you to develop and practice skills that will make you a great leader, in an environment where mistakes are learning opportunities and successes are celebrated. The experience is invaluable, both on a personal as well as career level.
Today we call for Toastmasters who want to move ahead in their leadership and communication goals, to apply for a role as a District Officer in the Core Team, as Division Director and as Area Director.
For our District Core Team, we need a District Director, Program Quality Director (PQD), Club Growth Director (CGD), Public Relations Manager (PRM), Administration Manager and Finance Manager.
For our Divisions, we need a Division Director and an Area Director for each of the existing areas in the Division. Toastmasters Belgium have four divisions and a new one is getting shape with the creation of several new clubs.
Are you ready for the challenge or do you know someone that is? Please check this information first:
Do you want to know more about Area Director or Division Director responsibilities? Just take a few minutes and watch one of these videos:
