Our new Division K Governor Peter Gerlach has been busy in Toastmasters over recent years! We asked what his vision was for Div K for 2012/13.
My Vision for Division K:
- Creating a culture of trust and open and boundless communication across division K
- Recognising people who are going the extra mile openly, sincerely and publically
- Creating an Easy-Speak Culture so 80% of clubs in Division K will be using the excellent resources on http://d71.org for booking roles at meetings etc.
- Achieving Presidents Distinguished Division with one club growth in every area and with at least 80% of clubs achieving 'Presidents Distinguished' status ie successfully helping members to achieve educational awards, running effective, growing clubs and having this recognised via the top award in the Distinguished Club Program
Peter has been a member of Toastmasters International since 1998. He's a founder of Croydon Communicators and Purley Speakers. Past President of Croydon Communicators and Founding President of Purley Speakers. Past Area 35 Governor and now Division Governor of Division K London and South East.
Not only that he told us: "I am currently studying for an MBA with Durham University, have two children and run a sales turnaround company."
Now that will keep you busy!
