The much anticipated Spring Conference has come and gone. Imagine that! And what a conference it was. Simply amazing with a real Commitment to Excellence thanks to all those on the planning committee.
Right from the First Timers' Reception and workshop with Ed Tate (2000 World Champion Public Speaking) on the Friday night to the Sunday brunch, again with Ed Tate, it was excellent. The Opening Ceremonies with our Parade of Banners and keynoter Michael Proudlock was terrific.
There was so much packed into those two and a half days that it simply took my breath away. Totally awesome and if you missed it, that really is too sad. You won't want to miss the Fall Conference. Add this to your calendar now: November 25-27th at the London Convention Centre, London - the one in Ontario!
The International Speech Contest was fantastic. Eight first class speakers all vying to be the one to head for World's in Vegas. Susan Lamb Robinson was the winner, with Sean Moon second and Gregory CN Smith third. Congratulations all!
The Evaluation Contest keeps getting better and better with the quality to the evaluations. Our test speaker, Stephanie Suida, was presented with great feedback to help her grow as a speaker and future leader. The winner was Blake Fleischaker, with Jacques Brunet second and Lance Mercer third. Congratulations all!
All in all I have it on good authority that our conference was a stellar success. So says our International Director, DTM Gina Cook who partook in all the festivities. District 86 should be so proud to know that Gina will take great comments about us back to International. Well done everyone!!!
Stay tuned for pictures.
