Harry S. Truman, DTM, IPDG, handed me a citation, a Toastmasters International Presidential Citation onjust before I dashed off to Kelly USA. Harry had accepted the citation on my behalf at the International Convention in Toronto, Canada. The citation is for “outstanding contributions to Toastmasters International and its program of Communication and Leadership.” I am very grateful for this high honor presented by Toastmasters International President, Jon R. Greiner, DTM, Immediate Past International President.
Toastmasters International, as you may know, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving oral communication and leadership skills. It has over 200,000 members in countries around the world.
Harry Truman, yes that’s his REAL name, is the Immediate Past District Governor of Distinguished District 55 where I am now a member of the Audie’s Orators Toastmasters Club at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital.
When I joined Toastmasters I was terrified of speaking in public and had actually frozen on one embarrassing occasion! To see why I’m still a Toastmaster, click here
