Josué Batista, DTM

Fellow Toastmasters and Friends: When I joined the PPG Toastmasters Club in 2009, I wanted to improve my communication skills and become more confident expressing my ideas. Being a non-native English speaker, it was clear to me that Toastmasters was the best environment for getting the communication and leadership training I was looking for. Since then, it has been remarkable journey filled with great experiences, lasting friendships, and ever-progressive realization of my potential by serving others. Thank you very much for allowing me to serve as a District Officer over the past few years.

I am now running for Lieutenant Governor Education & Training for the term 2014-2015. I want to extend my commitment to service by supporting our District Success Plan. I believe that working together we will reach higher levels of excellence and outstanding member experience. From building and retaining healthy clubs, to ensuring every member is getting the best possible value, to aligning our goals and objectives with Toastmasters International Envision Future, I am committed to serve and lead.

I respectfully ask for your vote and support at the upcoming District 13 Annual Business Meeting of the District Council, Saturday, April 12th, 2014 at the District 13 Spring Conference – DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
