Kelly is a veteran of the United States Army where she became certified as an Administration Specialist. She has 30 years’ experience in Administration and currently works full time as a Certified Compliance and Ethics professional for an oil and engineering company. She is also a part-time Communications Coach; she helps others transform their speaking and presentation skills.

Kelly is frequently invited to speak on Leadership, Overcoming Obstacles, Empowering Women, and Setting Goals. She is inspired by her God-given talent of communicating and connecting with people. Kelly consistently delivers with impact leaving her spectators uplifted, intellectually stimulated, and emotionally triggered. Her audience often describes her as “motivating and entertaining.”

In her spare time she speaks for non-profit organizations as a Motivational Speaker at emergency shelters, transitional housing, and half-way houses across the city of Houston.

Josué Batista, DTM District 13 Director

District Director WelcomeFellow Toastmasters and Friends,

Welcome to our 2016 Spring Conference and Bon Mardi Gras! If you are reading this message, most likely you are already here, at the Em-bassy Suites Pittsburgh International Airport, feeling the electrifying excitement surrounding the most colorful conference ever! A very passionate group of volunteers led by our Program Quality Director, Dr. Hollis R. Batista, and our wonderful Conference Chair Claudette Biers, has been working together on this conference with so much enthusiasm, energy, and creativity to ensure you are engaged in learning, enjoying, and meeting other passionate Toastmasters along the way.

Growing up in southern Venezuela, in my hometown of Ciudad Bolívar, there was such a fascinating mixture of people, cultures, languages, food, and music. Caribbean Calypso music played every-where during the Mardi Gras celebrations, called Carnival there. If you were to walk along the Paseo Orinoco, a boulevard along the Orinoco River during Carnival, you would have experienced a sensory over-load of color, rhythm, drums, and steel band sounds. Catchy songs in Patois, Spanish, and English, would have invited you to join everyone

in dancing, singing, and celebrating each other. Our district conference is filled with all that colorful excitement! As Dr. Ralph Smedley said, "... we learn best in moments of enjoyment."

You made the choice to attend this conference and I thank you for trusting our team to make your time and presence here the very best opportunity to enhance your leadership and communication skills. Our VIP Guest Speaker, Kelly Sargeant, will deliver powerful and motivational speeches. Our workshop presenters are prepared and ready to deliver relevant and valuable information for you to use and apply right away. Should I mention we also have speech contests to enhance the excitement and enjoyment of all of us? All the very best to all contestants; you are examples of what our theme is about: The WOW Factor - Wonderful Opportunities Within Toastmasters.

If there is one thing I would like for you to take away from this conference it is that Toastmasters International is here to benefit you, that is right, YOU! Whether you are one of the volunteers putting time and effort supporting this event, or leading your club, or serving in a district leader capacity, each one of these roles exists to enhance YOUR ability to be a better leader and communicator. No other institution that I know cares that much about YOUR journey, YOUR why, YOUR goals. I encourage you to be an ACTIVE participant if you want to accelerate and enhance your progress as a Toastmaster.

I have a challenge for you. On the next speaking slot available at your club, deliver at least one speech about what you saw, heard, felt, and did during this conference. Make the very best of this conference, be present, be engaged, reach out to others, and enhance your network by meeting other Toastmasters.

Salut!

Josué R. Batista, DTMDistrict Director District 13 P.S. If we have not met in person before or if you are a first time attendee, find me, reach out, and say Bon Mardi Gras! In return, I will have a small keepsake token for you. Until then, au revoir!

Salon A & B | 8:30 am - 9:15 am

Kelly Sargeant gives an inspirational ad-dress about discovering who you become, in the process of reaching your goals and objectives through leadership.

Kelly draws upon her feelings of facing her fears, the process of being transformed by leading, and eventually living without fear – but with purpose. Her testament helps listeners realize the importance of acknowl-edging the roadblocks to their dreams, taking ownership of their issues by taking full responsibility, solving them, and suc-ceeding.

This keynote speech will inspire the audi-ence to be open to growth by showing them how to use leadership to instill cour-age, confidence, and credibility in them-selves.

The Number One Reason You Don’t Have Millennials . . .How do we convince the Millennial to come to Toastmasters? How do we reach into a community that has never opened a phone book, hasn’t looked at a bulletin board since 2nd grade, and doesn’t know the value of leadership to a newly launched career? District 10 has found a tool that Millennials use and it’s paying off. Join Kim as she talks about MeetUp the Millennials.

Are you missing out on opportunities? Are you struggling to achieve your education awards? Are you feeling frustrated at the jumble of materials lying hidden in the corner? You could be a distracted Toastmaster. Shawndra shares the strategies, tools, and habits she’s used to become and stay an organized Toastmaster.

About Shawndra

Shawndra Holmberg, ACB, ALB, believes in the power that an organized space, schedule, and life has on our creative spirit. She is a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization (CPO-CD). Shawndra is focused on being a personal trainer for productivity, a mentor for goals, and a motivational force for creativity which is why she embraces Toastmasters.

Shawndra considers herself a lousy tourist as she usually spends her vacations enjoying a good book (reading one or writing one) and sipping a tasty cup of coffee on her lanai, deck, porch, or sunroom. That’s why she prefers to live and work in interesting locales. She went to graduate school in Montana, worked on Johnston Island (~850 miles southwest of Hawaii) for several years, spent a year at the South Pole, Antarctica, and then thawed out in Hawaii where she joined her first Toastmaster club. She is currently enjoying the people and scenery of Western Pennsylvania and is a member of the Earlybirds Toastmaster Club in Butler and the Mercer County Toastmasters.

Vice President and General Manager of WPXI-TV to receive 2016 Communication Achievement Award

PITTSBURGH, PA, March 19, 2016 — Ray Carter, of Pine Township, has been selected as this year’s recipient of the District 13 Toastmasters Communication Achievement Award. This award is given to a distinguished individual in communication or leadership. As Vice President and General Manager of WPXI-TV, Ray has the distinction of earning this award for the impact his communication and leadership skills have had on our community.

Just as Toastmasters practice and develop their skills to prepare themselves to become effective leaders and communicators, Ray’s prior experience prepared him well for his current role as Vice

President and General Manager at WPXI-TV. Ray has been involved in leadership of television stations since 1986. He has worked in several newsrooms as a photographer, editor, writer producer, reporter and anchor. Before becoming a general manager, Ray spent fifteen years working as a News Director of local news operations in media markets ranging from small towns like Binghamton, NY to large cities like Atlanta, GA.

Ray is active in the leadership of the television industry. He is a former member of the NBC Television Affiliate Advisory Board, and currently sits on the executive board of the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters. Ray is also active in his community and church. He currently serves on the advisory board of Bethlehem Haven, The Cox Media Group Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, the Pennsylvania Economy League, and is Vice Chairman of the St. Barnabas CEO Leadership Conference. He is also a lay minister for his church, with executive and ecclesiastical responsibilities for eight separate congregations, including more than 2,000 congregants.

The presentation of the 2016 Communication Achievement Award will happen on April 23, 2016 at the District 13 Toastmasters Spring Conference. The 2016 conference will be held at the Embassy Suites in Coraopolis, PA. Accompanied by his wife, Cathy, Ray will be “delighted to accept” the award as he shares his thoughts on what it takes to be a great communicator.

Ray and his wife, Cathy, are the parents of four children. He enjoys travel, photography, and riding his mint-condition Harley Davidson Rocker on weekends. Late at night and every chance he gets, he works on unfinished writing projects, including a novel and a screenplay.

Ray Carter, D13 Honoree
