Published on 04 July, 2005 

More than 30 members of the seven Toastmasters Clubs in the Mackay and Whitsundays attended a training day at CQU Mackay.

The training day was organised by Rodney Pratt, who is one of the Northern Division's Toastmasters Leadership Institute Co-ordinators.

The attendees were also given training in the various club executive officer roles that they would be taking on. This is particularly important for those people who are unfamiliar with the roles.

The incoming Northern Division Governor Roger Tredwell spoke on his priorities for the coming Toastmasters year. He said that boosting the membership of all clubs in the area was one of his biggest goals.

Toastmasters is a worldwide organisation that promotes better speaking, listening and thinking skills among its members. For more information, contact Peter Baxter on 4940 7418.
