Saud Bahwan Toastmasters: Table Topic Contest


Saturday, January 12, 2013

Let Us Talk: LGM Subha Anupindi


An Angel with a Healing Gesture
Interviewed by: Saleh Abdullah Alkhamyasi

LGM Subha Anupindi
LGM Subha Anupindi or rather madam TM SureAttitude is a name we all take at heart with admiration and respect. Her success story is a real attestation of the magnetic force of Toastmasters as a hub where leaders are made. She is certainly an inspiring leader and role model in her own right. From a shy and reserved person to a leader with a mission of injecting a glimmer of hope, uplifting defeated spirits and directing people to stretch to excel, the leap is magnanimous and certainly speaks volume about her will power and undeterred commitment.

DTAC 2013 - Update

Dear District Council Members,
 
Good evening. Here is the latest update from the DTAC 2013 Committee.
 
As of 25th December 2012, at the close of the Early Bird Discount Offer and reconciling our books – we are proud to announce that we have crossed the 600 mark in the number of delegates who have registered.  This is wonderful news for all of us, here as well as in the entire District and this was possible because of YOU – if you had not taken the decision to register for this event, we would not have reached this target.
 
I definitely would also like to thank our great Marketing team led by Ms. Sunshine Gerodias who carried the message all over through emails, face book & twitter posts, visit to various clubs and events within the UAE; our Support & Coordination team led by Ms. Sumita Narayan who ensured that active support was provided in terms of registrations and inquiries; our lady who called almost everyone who registered through Credit Card – Ms. Vidya; some of our Sponsorship Committee & Education Committee members led by Ms. Revathy Venkatratnam and Ms. Anupama Parkar who attended to the DTAC registration desks at Toastmaster events within UAE and not to forget, many of YOU who coordinated the registrations so well within your respective Divisions, Areas & Clubs. As rightfully stated, this is a Dream Team.
 
With many more registrations to come up, especially the Contestants, some who could not register early, the Gaveliers etc., -THE MORE THE MERRIER - this is going to be a rollicking Roller Coaster ride for all of us during the next five months till such time the event is successfully hosted.
 
At this juncture, I would like to say  A BIG THANK YOU  to one and all and WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW 2013.
 
Thanks & Regards
 
DTM Nagabhushan Balaji
Chairman – DTAC 2013
District 20
