2017-18 District 7 Candidates

Office: District Director

Donna Stark, DTM
Candidate for District Director

I consider it an honor and a privilege to be nominated to serve as
your District 7 Director in 2017-2018.
My Toastmasters journey started as a charter member of Downtown
Public Speakers in Eugene. Mileposts along the way have included
most club officer roles, Area Governor, Division Governor, DTM,
Division Director, Pathways Ambassador, and I am currently the D7
Program Quality Director. The best part has been the people I’ve had the pleasure of sharing
this journey with. The leadership roles and my fellow Toastmasters have provided a rich learning
experience to help prepare me for the role of District Director.
It’s an exciting time to be a Toastmaster in District 7. The rollout of the updated educational
program has begun and we expect Pathways to arrive in D7 in the very near future. My goal is
to help our district embrace the inevitable change as a wonderful opportunity to enhance every
Toastmaster’s membership experience.
I believe in the power of the Toastmasters program. I’m grateful for what the program has
done for me, and my passion is watching new members discover their own voice and leadership
potential. My vision is that every Toastmaster’s experience includes the full range of growth
opportunities that the Toastmasters program provides. Toastmasters —Where Leaders are Made!
