A message from District 19 Lt. Governor of Marketing Paul Wood:
One of the most important projects a Toastmaster tackles on the path toward a DTM is the High Performance Leadership Project. The HPL project by Area 32 Governor Jeanne Heil hat culminated this week was a great example of how the HPL project should be approached. As the LG Marketing for District 19, and on behalf of the Trio, I want to extend congratulations and thanks to Jeanne and her team for an exceptional performance in their handling of the District 19 appearance by 2012 World Champion Ryan Avery. Jeanne and her team exemplified the mission statement of Toastmasters where we support each other in the pursuit of goals.
The event received excellent coverage through various media outlets and will be a showcase for future such events not only in District 19 but through Toastmaster Districts in America. We look forward to the continued growth of new members as a result of the hard work of Jeanne and her team. And we urge anyone considering an HPL project in District 19 to use this project as an example. While there are many different kinds of projects that could qualify, the planning and execution were textbook, and more of this type of project can be immensely valuable to both the individual Toastmaster and District 19.
