As the newly elected public relations officer (PRO) Brenda Peshak is responsible for coordinating an active public relations and publicity program in the district, establishing and maintaining lines of communication between the district and its clubs, as well as between the district and the public. It’s the way clubs and the District interact with non-Toastmasters and help promote the Toastmasters brand.
Brenda was the Division C Governor and Website/Email Director for the 2013-2014 Toastmasters year. She has been involved with many aspects of helping facilitate this communication between the district, clubs and the non-toastmaster community. She told us:
“My plan for the district website and all email communications is not that much different than what Mike Anderson, my predecessor, did. It is about making the district19.me website a one- stop destination for all items Toastmasters. It should be easy to find documents, links, or ways to contact the district to add special events to the calendar. Also, the email campaign will be – as it was last year – simplified with specific targeted emails. These emails will cover just one subject and will only be sent to those people who need the information instead of mass emails as was done in the past. I am looking forward to trying to fill the large shoes of Mike Anderson!”
