District 58 Governor, Vida Jennings

Dear members,
Our 2010-2011 theme is Achieving Greatness Together. I must confess I did not create this theme, however, when Pat Johnson, Toastmasters International Senior Vice President suggested it I had an infamous A-HA moment. Yes, Achieving Greatness Together exactly summarizes my expectations for the 2010-2011 Toastmasters year in District 58.

In July of 2011 we will reflect upon this year and say we planned the work and worked the plan. We set goals to become better communicators and leaders. We vowed to improve ourselves by completing educational awards. We raised the bar by making every meeting a quality club meeting. We extended the invitation to join our professional development organization to co-workers, family members, friends and yes even strangers behind us in line at the local super center, post office and the bank.

This past year we were often reminded Toastmasters is the link to your future and to your world. In today’s society many leaders have visions of one day ruling the world, for District 58 I envision world domination as a direct result of superior performance at the member, club, area and division levels. Working as a one very large team, this membership year together we will achieve greatness.

Yours in Service,
Vida A. Jennings, DTM
2010-2011 District Governor
