D27Podcast_20100313 - Annelie Weber, DTM

On Saturday March 13, International Director Annelie Weber, DTM, presented a two-hour leadership workshop for those interested in becoming Area Governors.

At the conclusion of the workshop, Annelie was kind enough to answer a few questions, which we present here.  If you have any questions, please email pro10@d27tm.org.

Keep an eye out for the PRO team recording a podcast during many of the District-sponsored events throughout the year (TLI, Contests, Conferences).

D27 TLI Extended to March 15

Please stay tuned to your email.  District leadership will be sending out more details on this as they become available.  If you were unable to attend TLI this season due to the weather, please read on:

From International Director Annelie Weber, DTM:

Dear District Leaders,

I have just received Kristen Rolapp’s most welcome message saying that all of us can extend the deadline for club officers trained until March 15.  Because the TO line is blank I can not judge who was copied and because I don’t want anyone to miss out on getting this news ASAP, I am forwarding Kristen’s message to all of you.

Since we all talked about this possibility at great length for almost two weeks, I hope that you have planned, in the background, to get a few TLI sessions off while we were awaiting WHQs answer to our extension request. 

Please make sure that no one club officer who has not been able to get to training can say that he/she didn’t get the news.  Set up telephone trees if you have to; don’t rely solely on email and web site notifications of this extraordinary opportunity to get more officers trained and for some clubs to add such training toward reaching their DCP goals.  I do hope all of our district club officers who were unable to make scheduled trainings due to the horrible weather conditions take advantage of this. 

Though I also realize that all of you have to work extra hard to find venues and trainers on short notice.  Good luck and much success.  If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me. 

Annelie

PS:  How about a big great cheer for our WHQ staff?

Leadership Seminar March 13

From LGET Paul White:

Dear District Leaders,

We are indeed fortunate to have the Region VII second year International Director Annelie Weber come to our District on March 13th to present a valuable Leadership Seminar.

If you are thinking of becoming an Area Governor please plan to attend.  If you plan to recommend someone to be an Area Governor, please encourage them to attend this seminar.  If you know of someone who is thinking about being an Area Governor or assuming a leadership position in a club, Area, Division or at the District-level, please suggest to them that they attend this training program.

The seminar will focus on the key position of Area Governor and how it is a vital link between members and clubs at the top of the inverted leadership pyramid and District leadership at the Division, Lt. Governor and District Governor levels at the opposite end of the pyramid.

However, if you are considering taking a leadership position at any level, from the club through District Governor, or if you are just interested in learning about how Toastmasters International views leadership, this leadership seminar will provide you with that understanding and will give you tools and techniques to assist you on your personal path to Leadership Mastery.

Join us on March 13th at the AVAYA (previously Nortel) facility in Fair Lakes, Fairfax, Virginia.  Registration is at 8:30.  The seminar will run from 9:00 to 10:30 with a possible optional event from 10:30 - 11:00 AM.  A light snack will be provided.

Interested in attending - please RSVP as soon as possible to Paul White at PEWhite@msn.com.
