I believe I have the Fuel and the passion needed to help shape the Future of our organization the way we would like it to be: an organization that is ready for its second century of life. Why me as ID, and why now? I consider this an opportune time to be an active member of the strategic leadership team of our organization. I wish to use my visionary skills and experience in managing innovation in
Research & Development to bring that approach to Toastmasters, helping our organization evolve, modernize, and offer the best service to our members in their quest for personal development. Now that our organization needs to rebuild itself and prepare for a second century, I think it would be a perfect time to bring my competencies to serve the board and our members.
