Taking District 84 to the Next Level

Something happened at the Spring Sci Fi conference. I think it had to do with the provocative Star Trek line, “…to boldly go where no man has gone before.” (Trekkie purist, I know. I don't buy into the PC version.) But I digress…

Ever-striving to improve the caliber of education sessions and leadership training for its members, District 84 is embarking on an ambitious sponsorship program this year. No longer waiting until six weeks before the Fall and Spring conference to garner program ads and exhibitors, we are taking the offensive and actively seeking businesses to partner with us in our pursuit of excellence.

This year, we launch our first-ever Sponsorship Program for District 84. Our District is comprised of nearly 200 clubs with over 3700 members from Tallahassee to Jacksonville and south to Vero Beach. Our membership represents talented, enthusiastic and driven men and women passionate about improving themselves personally and professionally. Toastmasters International is the only organization “Where Leaders are Made,” dedicated solely to improving members' communication and leadership skills in a fun-filled and positive learning environment.

We have numerous opportunities for business to join us in our efforts to improve ourselves and the world around us. From conferences to training sessions, from contests to leadership workshops, and from the one area to the full district we offer a targeted market for businesses intent on reaching future leaders with something to say.

Join me in this endeavor as we reach across the district and develop successful partnerships that will be mutually beneficial to all.
