Cranberry High Noon Toastmasters Club Earns Highest Honors For Fourth Consecutive Year!

Cranberry Twp., PA, July 12, 2017 -- Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational organization that teaches communication and leadership skills through network of local clubs. Toastmasters International has helped more than 4 million people worldwide become more confident speakers and leaders. The Cranberry High Noon Toastmasters Club reached 9/10 goals necessary to earn the designation as a President’s Distinguished Club from Toastmasters International, an honor that has been reached every year since the club was chartered (2013). Under the leadership and encouragement of Club President Jessica A. Mineard ACB, ALB, 3 members (Denise Etter, Sarah Souri, and Paul Lawson) earned educational awards, 4 members (Denise Etter, Sarah Souri, David Hensel and Leslie Middleton) earned leadership awards, and 7 new members joined the club during the 2016-2017 Toastmasters year. According to Jessica: “Taking on the Presidency of this highly successful club was a little daunting. I wouldn’t want to let them down. I was lucky enough, however, to have an incredible executive team behind me and the best members a club could ask for. I’d like to personally thank all of the members for an amazing year. It was their hard work and dedication that drove us to President’s Distinguished. The beauty of a Toastmasters club is that through the success of each individual EVERY individual grows and succeeds. Hearing evaluations and speeches from other members gives you tips and takeaways that are useful in all areas of your life, both professional and personal. There is no better way to build your leadership skills, speaking abilities, and networking capabilities.” Robert Johnson, CC, ALB, the incoming President of the Cranberry High Noon Toastmasters for the 2017-2018 year is looking forward to the challenge of repeating or even surpassing last year’s successes expressing this sentiment: “Our past members of the Cranberry High Noon Toastmasters Club have set the bar high with their incredible achievements. Although our team has big shoes to fill, I am confident that we can continue our standard of excellence in the upcoming year. With our focus on the 2017-2018 theme of Members Matter Most, I am encouraged that our club can continue to grow and reach new heights in the new year.”.
