Alumni Highlights: Toastmasters Recognizes Alumni

Officers in StepUp Speakers’ Circle, which is part of the Alumni Ambassadors program, were recently awarded the Toastmasters International 2019 District Incentive Strength in Numbers. These officers demonstrated a tremendous commitment to the club by attending required training sessions, attaining distinguished status in 2019, and meeting membership requirements throughout the year. Dr. Kevin Snyder, DTM, the noted author, presented these participants with gold pins to signify their achievement. More members are seeking status as club officers with fourteen currently attending training!

Outside of the StepUp Speakers’ Circle, the Alumni Ambassadors initiative From Mentee to Mentor is underway, with weekly meetings taking place for eight current teams. These teams come together every Thursday to set goals for 2020, check-in with one another, and make new connections. The program continues to grow, with new teams being added as alumni attendance increases.

Since January 1, 2020, 36 adults and 16 children have participated in the Alumni Ambassadors program, including seven adults who graduated from Life Skills in December. We are pleased to continue our partnership with these families.
