Interview with Susan Breitsprecher moderated by RDU Toastmaster’s VP of Public Relations, 2008.
Q1. What is your current role and responsibilities in the area/district?
I am currently the Area 52 Governor. I help 6 clubs maintain their goals so they can achieve a Distinguished club status and better serve their members.
Q2. What attracted you to rdu-toastmasters?
I was taking another course, in which, using your voice was an aspect we discussed. One of my classmates was a member of RDU Toastmasters and she invited me to visit a meeting. I immediately knew this was the program for me.
Susan Breitsprecher
Q3. What is your most memorable rdu-toastmaster experience?
Competing and winning the club International speech contest.
Q4. How has rdu-toastmasters helped you succeed in becoming an Area Governor?
I will never forget the first time an Area Governor visited our club when I was still Treasurer. We were not organized and lacked a number of things that go into making a good Toastmasters meeting. That visit inspired me to strive for a better club and to learn more about the structure of the Toastmasters organization.
Q5. As an area governor, what advice do you have for members in your home club of rdu-toastmasters?
Do not give up on your goals and make excuses for not giving speeches. The more you put into your personal development the more you develop so keep practicing and working on your speeches. Make sure you support your fellow Toastmasters at the meetings and speech contests….remember the golden rule: Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You!
