President's Award

“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results”.

That quote applies to many individuals in Bangsar Toastmasters Club. These people are committed to the club – who are there when the club needs them. Doing a little here, a little there but doing what really counts. These are the people who make the club great, who make sure other members have the necessary environment to grow, who support and encourage others and who offer assistance whenever it is needed.

I personally believe these people need to be recognised and appreciated. People like these have made me a better person and have helped me improve continuously.

“By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property” – Voltaire

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

In appreciation of the contribution, efforts and support of these individuals, I am initiating an award called the “President’s Award”.

This award will be given every 3 to 4 months, to an individual, who helps the club fulfill the 3Fs (Fulfillment, Fun & Fellowship) and embodies the following characteristics:

  1. Continuously FULFILL his/her individual goals and the club goals by doing speeches, giving evaluations, taking up roles, bringing in new members and helping other members improve themselves by mentoring and coaching them.
  2. Making club meetings and environment FUN by coming well prepared for speeches, roles and evaluations, helping with club chores like setting up room, etc, participating in club activities and creating an environment of FUN for everyone.
  3. Encourage FELLOWSHIP by encouraging members to attend meetings, being genuinely interested in the well-being of the members and offering encouragement and support to others.

The selection of the President’s Award recipient will be done by the club members themselves. Every member of the club is qualified to be selected including the Executive Committee, except the President. The first award recipient will be announced at our Installation Dinner on September 30th.

So, start recognising this individual right now – who knows it might even be you. The President’s Award is also to remind us of what being a Bangsar Toastmasters Club member is all about.

Fulfill the 3Fs and “MAKE IT HAPPEN” for you and the club.


Lourdes Chandramohan, DTM
President
