THE DISTRICT BEAT

Happy New Toastmasters Year!

I’m Emilie Taylor, and I'm honored to serve as your District Director.

My decisions will be guided by three questions:
• Does it make for a better member experience?
• Will it support clubs in achieving excellence?

• Will it allow us to grow more quality and sustainable clubs?

Two phrases you will hear often:
• Members are the heart of District 7. The cornerstone of my leadership is supporting

you. When you have the tools to thrive, you and your club will be successful. Engaged
members, learning and growing at each meeting (using the core values of integrity,
respect, service, and excellence), are the heart of District 7.
• Own it and grow from it. When we own our fears and shortcomings and share them

with each other, we can achieve more than we thought possible! By helping each other,
we strengthen our lives and those we share.
I have the deepest faith that you will step out, step forward, and step up on your journey
towards who you were meant to be. Cate, Eldred and I wish you a wonderful year full of new

beginnings and growth!

Warmest regards,

Emilie Taylor, DTM
District Director
