Foreword Jakarta Toastmasters Club (JTC) President (2009-2010)

Firstly, I want to thank the Jakarta Toastmasters Club’s Executive Committee (JTC Exco) from last year in leading the club - Alistair, Imung, Stephen, Jhonson, Ivan, Dyah and Etta. I know they have spent a lot of personal time leading the club, we achieved the Presidents Distinguished Club Award last year, and I value their continued support and experience this year as well.

Allow me to introduce the new JTC Exco for 2009-2010:

Vice President Education: CC Vanessa Hendriadi
Vice President Membership: CC Dyah Yasmina
Vice President Public Relations: DTM Harlina Indra
Secretary: TM Fathia Saripuspita
Treasurer: TM Fadli
Sergeant at Arms: TM Taufan

At our first meeting, we had some fresh ideas,and we will continue to move the club forward in a positive direction, to help the members achieve their speaking and leadership goals.

Our aim is the same as the mission of the Toastmasters club that you'll find on the Toastmasters International website: "to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth."

Finally and most importantly, we aim to have fun doing it - with the same creative energy that our members have always brought to our club - your club. We welcome your ideas and your involvement.

We hope you can come along and support us in the new year ! This club is your club.

Matthew Price
President (2009-2010)
