Public Relations

I see my role as a Public Relations Officer as one of service and support to the District. But that's nothing new for me as I've been serving District 47 for the last five years as an Area Governor, Fall 2006 Conference co-chair and most recently as Division A Governor.    

TI defines the PRO as the officer who serves in a staff position under the direction of the district governor to establish and maintain mutual lines of communication, understanding, acceptance and cooperation between the district and its members, as well as between the district and the public, working to increase awareness of Toastmasters through all available media.

Highlights of this position are to:

•  Administer the policies and programs related to public relations for Toastmasters International, the district and the club.

•  Prepare a public relations program to keep both members and non-members aware of the Toastmasters program and help achieve district goals for membership building and retention, building new clubs and achievement of CCs, ACs, CLs, ALs and DTMs.

•  Promote use of Toastmasters' educational programming, district conferences and events, as well as leadership and training opportunities within the district.

Am I going to be able to do this job?? You betcha!!

But I can't do it alone.I'm going to need YOUR help.

I'll be looking for ideas, feedback and support from both the District leaders and members to help make their Toastmasters experience a great one; and also to develop strategies to share those great experiences with folks who aren't yet Toastmasters.

In fact, I'm already putting together a winning team of VPPR to partner with me so we can leverage each others successes and learn from our mistakes. Take a look at the July edition of the D84 Newsletter for complete details and come join the team!

I'm truly looking forward to a tremendous first year with you as we blaze the trail to success as the brand new District 84!
