KUCHING, July 8: The Kuching Toastmasters Club (KTMC) has elected Chester Bong president for the 2022-2023 term.
The club’s new executive committee members also include Michael Li who was elected vice president (Education) along with Hubert Poh (Membership), and Alvin Ling (Public Relations); Vera Tan as secretary; Wee Pei Chai as treasurer and sergeant-at-arms, together with Shirlene Yeo and Wee Hun Been as committee members.
According to Bong, KTMC will focus on returning to its physical bimonthly training meetings and education programmes as the country slowly work its way into the endemic phase.
“Embarking on new term with the tagline ‘Learning is an adventure’, the club will attempt to strike a balance between indoor and outdoor meetings to create a more dynamic approach to public speaking.
“Aside from that, there are also plans for outreach programmes to schools and institutions of higher learning,” he said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, KTMC said the club’s membership will continue to grow, a credit to its efficient and hardworking executive committee.
Toastmasters International is a US-headquartered non-profit educational organisation that operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of promoting communication, public speaking, and leadership.
