My Day with the RA
Linda Williams Linda Williams, Region 3 Advisor, paid us a visit last month. A Region Advisor (RA) oversees several districts’ worth of Toastmasters clubs, providing support and advice to district officers mostly by phone, but also making one visit in person each year. Since these visits are so rare, it’s important to make the most of the RA’s time. Organizing the schedule was the responsibility of Lt. Governor Marketing Cindy Hinckley. Linda would be here on Friday and Saturday, October 18-19. The District Executive Committee (DEC) Meeting and the Marketing Workshop were already planned for Saturday. So Cindy arranged a...

Roanoke Texas Toastmasters: Helping Students “Find Their Voice”
Find Your Voice. It’s the slogan on the blue Toastmasters tote bag that my husband, David Roth, recently gave me. I have been pondering that slogan as I witness new member after new member rise to give their ice breaker speech, venture into a new leadership role on the schedule, or share some of their wit and wisdom during Table Topics. It’s truly rewarding to witness the process of discovery of each member’s ‘voice’ through their involvement in the Toastmasters program.
