Division I Director
As Division Director for the High Desert Division, our motto for the 2015-
2016 year is “Pay it Forward.” Toastmasters International is an amazing
organization. However, to paraphrase JFK, it is not only what Toastmasters
can do for me, it’s what I can do for current and future Toastmasters. Hence,
“Pay it Forward”, so get on board and be a part of the “Pay it Forward” Train—
All Aboard!!

Christine Brown, CC (assistant)
Area 10 Director
Our vision is to sustain and grow. Area 10 is the northern most area of the High
Desert Division. It is the intention of the Area Director to support the current
clubs with a variety of social media campaigns and grow the area clubs through
events and happenings.

Faye Phillips, ACS, ALB

Area 11 Director
My goal is to help each club assess their strengths and build upon those
strengths while at the same time striving to improve in areas where the
club may not have been as strong in the past. Each club has its own
accomplishments and areas of excellence. I will encourage each club to
offer advice and ideas to other clubs within the area so that we may all learn
and grow.

We realize that the two most important factors in
Toastmasters is Mentoring and Evaluations, there is
no doubt that if these two are done well and there is a
good Mentoring program, your club will be filled with
spark plugs ready to fire upon request. Mentoring and
evaluations create enthusiasm, and once you light
that fire the only thing it needs is some kindling.
