Wesley Gibbs Farewell Message
Robert joined TM in February 1996, in D65, which is upstate NY. He was district governor in D65 in 2007/2008. Robert moved to MD in 2009 and currently belongs to SSA TM, 2884, and Carroll County TM,2851 Clubs.
Nancy has been in Toastmasters for over 18 years and is currently a member of High Voltage Speakers. The journey to her third DTM took a detour when her husband passed in March 2023. After a lot of encouragement from her club, she restarted work on her DTM project, Traveling Toastmasters.
Nancy truly believes that achieving a DTM is not a personal victory but one you undertake with your Toastmaster friends, who encourage you, help you with your projects and give you feedback on how well you are achieving your goals. Nancy would be happy to help any other Toastmaster who is working toward their DTM. Because everyone can use a mentor along the way.
Amy’s Toastmasters journey began in 2016 when a friend invited her to a meeting. Before long, she recognized the value in the personal development the organization provided, so she joined. Eventually, Amy noticed others around her achieving awards and realized that DTM was her desired goal. Now, here she is, 7.5 years later!
It was a lot of work – but this award isn’t earned alone. Amy learned and gained so much along the way, the greatest being the relationships, deep-abiding friendships, and kindred spirits that have been formed. So many past and present Toastmasters have encouraged, bolstered, and helped her. She wants to encourage others, too!
Toastmasters provides valuable tools to foster personal growth and develop members into effective speakers and leaders. Fellow Toastmasters, remember, your journey is just that – your own unique experience. Enjoy it!
