Have You Ever Been to a District Conference?

Have you ever considered going to a district conference?

Why not?

This year our very own Sara is the educational co-chair. This means she has helped pick the sessions you can go to through the day. There will be sessions on building better teams, how to use Toastmasters to advance your career, improving external communications, or finding your true passion.

This year the Keynote Speaker is Mary Cheyne. Mary won second place in Augusts World Champion of Public Speaking competition. She represented District 31 and started out at her club's International Speech Contest last Spring. Learn how she did it!

This year we are trying an Evaluation-a-thon. For one hour there will be nothing but other members (and maybe you) giving speeches. Verbal evaluations will be given by members of the district's advanced clubs. These are more indepth evaluations and are fantastic ways to help you set goals.

What about all the people you can meet! Participants will be members from all over Rhode Island and Eastern/Central Massachusetts. This is a great way to see other speakers and make connections. There is always time to network at these events.

Find out more about the conference at http://www.district31.org/conference_2009Fall_home.html including registration information, an agenda and more. Still want to learn more about it? Ask Sara, Rene, Peter, Yvette or Maggie about their experiences at conferences!
