12th Division G Annual Contest | Page 18

Message from the Past Division G Governor (2009-2010) In Toastmaster, everyone is encourage to aspire and dream of something worth emulating ,about his/her passion and interest, plans and intentions, advocates and transformations in life or even motivate and persuade them to be a good public servants and future leaders in their very own useful expertise and specialties. I still remember when I accepted the responsibilities of the Division G Governor, it ‘s with mixed feelings of confusion, fear and worries of what’s going to happen on the very beginning up to the final turnover my governorship of Division G. Yes, a leader must be diligent and open minded with tactics and strategies to his plans and goals most of the time . It is in hard work and with focus to our goals that would bring us to be the front liner of promising leaders, trained and mentored with convincing speaking prowess to effective communication and leadership style. The continuous interactive activities of a leader in full display of concern and care to his people determines the degree of respect and camaraderie towards unity and teamwork in all undertakings that perhaps brings everyone’s aspirations and dreams in soaring high to its greatness of success as we put together the puzzle pieces of our obligations, responsibilities and services beyond the expectation of other people. Remember, it only in ourselves that we can find the true spirit of commitment, dedication and determination in the realization of our dreams and aspirations. With the unified efforts of my enthusiastic officers and members and mentors .we had able to increased the number of clubs of Division G, from sixteen (16) to twenty two (22) clubs, thus we were obliged to make a realignment to create two more (2) Areas in Division G and ending up to be a President Distinguished Division during my governorship. Thru the years and up to this time Division G is keeping on expanding to its greatness led by great leaders themselves. Hoping that the leaders now of Division G would keep the legacy and maintained the boldness and greatness as we all together claim always that Division G is Division Great at all times. Congratulations…… to the 12th Annual Contest and “All the Best” to all of you as you celebrate the Contest in amazing and awesome success. Regards, Arturo De Leon, DTM Past Division Governor 14
