Dear members,
the election for the new committee was held on Wednesday 18th June.
I am pleased to announce the following committee members, who will take office from 1st July 2014 for one year.
President Ben P
VP education Claire M-P
VP Membership Christoph H
VP Public Relations Cathrin C
Treasurer Dominik O
Secretary/webmaster Christian M
Sergeant at Arms Barbara B
At the meeting Moritz gave an eloquent impromptu speech in praise of our first club president, Ivan. I would like to echo Moritz and extend my thanks and admiration to the entire team involved with the club set up, Ivan, Barbara, Tobias, Moritz. I was not present at the club founding, so it is possible that I have missed some names out. I apologise if this is the case.
Not just an election, there were also 2 speeches given, by Cathrin and Christoph. Evaluations were given by Ben and Barbara.
I would like to congratulate Christoph on completing his 10th speech, Inspire your Audience, and so gain his Competent Communicator (CC) award. He now has the chance to select 2 advanced manuals (gratis, a list of titles can be seen at the back of the CC manual), and continue his speaking odyssey.
My first 2 priorities for the coming year are to create a web page that will be the public face of the club, and will serve to attract guests who will become members; and to grow the membership to 28-35. Location is important, and fixing a permanent location is also an early priority.
Best regards
Ben
Club President 2014-2015
