Lisa Haney, ACB, ALB joined toastmasters to grow,
learn, and become more confident about public speaking in general. She works
in the field of environmental compliance and regulation. She provides online
and classroom training and is requested to give talks at professional meetings. This
club provides the safe harbor to make mistakes, laugh at yourself, and become more comfortable in your own skin. What Lisa likes most about Watermeisters in particular, is the comradery of all the members and the wonderful
sense of humor this club has to offer.
Murray Schrantz, CC, CL, joined Watermeisters after visiting several
other clubs but really felt at home here. It's a great place to improve speaking skills in a friendly, yet professional setting.
