President's Message (2008/09 term)

Greetings ITE Toastmasters,

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the outgoing executive committee for their excellent work and efforts to support ITE Toastmasters during the 2007/08 term. The new team met on 28 Jun 2008 to chart the new direction for the toastmaster year. We've started on a strong note.

Firstly, we will continue to rotate our chapter meetings within the ITE colleges at Dover/HQ compus; Bishan Campus and Tampines Campus. Our meeting time will be at 1915hrs on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

Secondly, we have a strong and very motivated executive members, and it is my pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic team:

R Sivanathan, CL - VP Education
Yeo Poh Lian, CL - VP Membership
Suen Eng Kai - VP Public Relations
Andrew Goh, CL - Secretary
Choo Beng Kee - Treasurer
Tan Kay Teck, ACB, CL - Sergeant at Arms
Theresa Groyon, CL - Past President

Finally, we will reinforced the vision of making ITE Toastmasters a club to "Nurture Nascent Novices into Nimble Naturals" in public speaking. We've set these three key goals:

  1. continue to practice the four core values of Toastmasters International: integrity, dedication to excellence, service to the member and respect for the individual.
  2. build our membership from the current 18 to at least 30 members by Jun 2009 with like-minded ITE staff & Alumni members who are motivated to improve their public speaking skills , and
  3. qualify for at least the "Select Distinguish Club" award (7 DCP goals) by Jun 2009 through participating actively in Club & TI organized activities.

Ong Lye Sum, ACB, CL. President (2008/09 term)
