If a club assigns <i>the district governor as its delegate, the district governor in office at the time of the International Convention will be able to cast the club’s votes at the Annual Business Meeting. </i><br />
<br />
From the website, district governors will be able to see not only which clubs have assigned their proxies to them, but they can also find out which clubs have or have not assigned their proxies. For those clubs who have not submitted their proxies, district governors will be provided with the club president's name and contact information to allow the district governor to follow up.<br />

As word spread about Ralph Smedley’s experiment in Santa Ana, California, people in nearby communities, and even other states, began requesting permission to start their own Toastmasters clubs.<br />
<br />
As Toastmasters International celebrates its 87th anniversary this week, the organization continues to thrive, helping more people than ever develop the communication skills and confidence they need to become leaders in their fields. Membership is at an all-time high, with more than 270,000 members in over 13,000 clubs in 116 countries. <br />
<br />
Toastmasters International continues to meet members’ needs through club meetings, district conferences, the Toastmasters website and other events. <br />
<br />
From a small gathering in a YMCA basement in 1924 to a global organization, the Toastmasters story is one of dramatic growth and success.

The ability to communicate, persuade and lead. The skill to tell one’s story, shape better tomorrows and point others in the same direction. These are the attributes of leaders, and not all leaders are born with talent. They learn it, one experience at a time, and so can you.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">For nearly a century, Toastmasters International has been helping women and men of every background, education level and economic standing develop the competency they need to become effective communicators and, ultimately, inspired leaders. That proud tradition continues to this day, bolstered by a reaffirmation of purpose and a new aesthetic vibrancy that includes our logo, colors, fonts and educational materials. Our organization is growing like never before; Toastmasters International now comprises more than 13,000 clubs in 116 countries around the world, from Myanmar to Mexico, China to the Netherlands. Our new look and feel represents a realization of this truth and a tireless commitment to it going forward.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">This is an exciting time in Toastmasters history; more than ever we are prepared to equip a new generation of success-oriented people with the practical communication and leadership skills necessary to improve their confidence and achieve their goals. Whether you’re a college student, stay-at-home mom, small business owner or CEO, we invite you to join Toastmasters International—where leaders are made.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">To view the multimedia new release, visit <a href="http://www.multivu.com/mnr/49429-toastmasters-where-leaders-are-made" style="color: #d62828; text-decoration: none;">http://www.multivu.com/mnr/49429-toastmasters-where-leaders-are-made</a> </div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f1f2ed; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br />

The organization unveiled its new brand identity at its International Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, today.

We are not your grandfather’s Toastmasters.”</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f1f2ed; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The Toastmasters members of today are culturally and ethnically diverse, representing all ages and professions, meeting in communities and corporations in 116 countries.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f1f2ed; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">While more than a quarter of a million members attend approximately 13,000 club meetings each week, how they experience those meetings and describe their experiences vary widely from member to member and club to club.

Of all the organizations I’ve joined, Toastmasters has had the greatest positive impact on my life. I believe the benefits of membership extend far beyond simple public speaking skills. I think almost everyone would benefit from joining toastmasters.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First a little information about what Toastmasters is for those who are unfamiliar with this organization. Beginning in 1924 through Ralph C. Smedley, the organization has since grown to over 260,000 members in over 12,500 clubs in 113 countries worldwide. Focusing on public speaking and leadership skills, Toastmasters is one of the largest organized systems of personal development in the world</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #34302a; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">.</span></span></i></b></span><br />

featured in Toastmaster Magazine. <o:p></o:p></div>Think you can’t be a great speaker? Think again. Darren’s first performance and his championship speech are absolute proof that presenting is a learned skill.<br />
Darren studied ten years worth of World Champions contests over and over again. He discovered what separates the person who wins from the person who comes in second. The winners had three points in common. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Want to know what they are? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Come to the program and hear it directly from Darren!<br />
Participants will give 1- to 2-minute mini-speeches and receive instant feedback from a master speaker coach!<br />
Objectives: To give you a champion’s perspective on common presenter mistakes, along with techniques & tips that anyone can use to correct them!</span><br />
