As VPPR, it's my role to get the club's profile out into the world by updating the club website, and managing all our social media platforms - (facebook, twitter, meetup & more), and if there are extra events planned to promote the club, that's my job too.
I don't normally wear the outfit in this photo at Toastmasters, but have been known to do a speech or two on why I do. If you want to have a chat, just message me on our facebook page - www.facebook.com/didsburyspkrs
