Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Deborah Clark
Deborah Clark, VP Membership I think Deborah bleeds Toastmasters blue and gold. It was Deborah who suggested that I consider running for President, and I greatly appreciate the confidence she placed in me. I have greatly valued her membership and guidance on the Executive Board. It was Deborah who volunteered the Roche Club to host the Annual Joint Pharma Meeting, and I'm glad she did. It was a top notch event, due in large part to her contributions. Deborah has advanced through the formal TM curriculum further than any other Roche club member to date, I believe, having earned both her Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG) and her Advanced Leader Silver (ALS), the two highest awards on the communication and leadership tracks, respectively. Only one very difficult requirement has kept her from earning the elusive Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) designation. Deborah has served the club as President, and has also served as Governor on the Area and/or Division level. A club member who knows the broader TM program and organization as well as Deborah is a great asset to any club- an asset that will be truly missed. I, my fellow officers, and club members thank you for your contributions to the club, and for your friendship. I encourage you to continue with Toastmasters so that you may continue to derive personal and professional benefit from Toastmasters, as well as benefit other Toastmasters members outside of Roche.
