The morning session includes our District Executive
Council meeting and a presentation from Richard Snyder, Region II International Director.
During lunch we move (appropriately) to the Hall of Champions where we will hear from the inspirational trail-blazing
first woman president of Toastmasters International, Helen Blanchard, followed by recognition of our newest DTMs.
The afternoon continues with presentations by Rob Swineford from Founders District and the 2007 World Champion
of Public Speaking, Vikas Jhingran. But wait, there's more - how about the five funniest Toastmasters from District
5 whose sole purpose is to make us laugh during the Humorous Speech Contest!

Membership Retention

to 70% worldwide. During his interactive workshop today, second year International Director Richard Snyder, DTM,
is going to share some practical and proven ways to increase Membership Retention and the audience will brainstorm
further ways to improve Membership Retention.

Helen Blanchard, Past International President
Silver Linings
From the vantage point of a senior citizen and while
writing her life’s experiences in her biography “Breaking the Ice”, she discovered that those dark clouds can have
silver linings. Sometimes it does take years to see it, but as Helen tells her story, you can reflect on your times
of disappointments and disheartening events with a different perspective. Perhaps you also will find the sun shinning
at the edges of every cloud.

Vikas Jhingran, 2007 World Champion of Public Speaking
The Emotional Approach
to Public Speaking
On August 18th 2007, Vikas Jhingran
became the 76th World Champion of Public Speaking. In doing so he destroyed many myths; that great speakers are
born not made, that engineers can’t be entertaining speakers and finally, that all MIT students are GEEKS. For
Vikas this amazing achievement also confirmed a deeply held belief …. that great speeches, like movies, music and
art, are just an emotional connection between the speaker and the audience. This belief has been the backbone of
his speeches for many years and he continues to use this approach with great success.
