Area Governor Training

Return to the District Resources main page

Your 2011-2012 Area Governor Co-Trainers are Jim Miller and Margaret Brunner.

Someone once said, “The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.” Attaining our goals includes leadership development through an "ATTITUDE of SERVICE". It means going beyond the Competent Communicator manual.

Through leadership development we are encouraged to grow in service. We learn to make good decisions, improve our human relations skills, and gain confidence in our own abilities to influence, motivate, and build up others. The true leader serves people, serves their best interests. This is called “Service Leadership” and is well modeled in our own Toastmasters Community.

To serve or not to serve? When it comes to leadership, those who are courageous enough to take the first step have already answered the question.

Area Governors will be inspired to lead their teams and clubs with confidence with the training that we will provide. Area Governors will internalize this year's theme, "An Attitude of Service," by considering clubs as their customers and providing great "customer" service. Additionally, the Area Governors will help clubs serve their customers, the individual member, providing opportunities for clubs to fulfill their mission: "The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth."
