Fellow Toastmasters, my name is Tony DeLeon and I am the District 4 Lieutenant Governor Marketing (LGM) for 2007-2008. I have been with Toastmasters since June of 2001 and to be honest, it was only supposed to be for a little while...you know just a few speeches and move on with my life.
But something happened and I got more involved with my home club, San Mateo Toastmasters, holding several offices -- Sergeant at Arms, VP of Education, and then served two terms as President. Before you know it, I was known as Tony "the Toastmaster".
As Past President I could not sit still. I chaired a successful Area contest which gave me the confidence to enter District leadership as an Area Governor (D5 2004-2005), Division D Governor (2005-2006), and Lieutenant Governor Marketing (2006-2007). Toastmasters has become a way of life for me and has allowed be to be more successful.
I love to share my enthusiasm and promote this great organization.
