Greetings from the Division I Director Fellow Toastmasters, welcome to another Toastmasters year, and thank you for keeping the commitment you made to yourselves, your Clubs and the Organization. It is both my privilege and pleasure to serve as your Division Director 2020/2021, and together with our Team of Area Directors, Club Officers and Members, we look forward to an Incredible, Inspiring and Innovative year ahead. We have over the past several months since the inception of the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated our strength, commitment, dedication and resiliency as a Division, and as a people. Despite the challenges, we continue to push ahead, determined to succeed in our efforts. While the new online meeting protocols are different from the physical meetings we are used to, we adapted, we embraced the new technology and took advantage of the opportunity to visit many other Toastmasters Clubs in our Family Islands, throughout District 47, and in other Districts around the world. Our first quarter is one to be proud of, and augurs well for another successful year for the Division. Continue to immerse yourselves in Pathways, achieve your educational goals; find creative ways to attract new members to your Clubs, work with your Treasurers to ensure timely dues payments and maintain you and your Club's active statuses. Have an idea or lead for a new club, let's explore it, work towards attaining your Pathways DTM requirements.. Let us continue to promote a spirit of collaboration, communication, cooperation and compassion for each other; it is only TOGETHER that we overcome any odds and succeed.
