John Rodke, DTM
Over the last eight years, I have had an amazing experience in Toastmasters. Growing with
you, my fellow members, through mentors, mentoring others, speaking, leading, listening,
and learning. We have transcended ourselves. I have seen the greatest improvement within
the leadership track of Toastmasters. This wild and challenging road of empowerment,
opportunities, failures, and successes, has required creativity, empathy, and vulnerability.
Together, we have become effective servant leaders. In the next year and beyond, I want to
create a stronger pipeline for leadership that will help our members thrive as leaders in our
Clubs, District, and community. Our District proved its ability to change with this year with
the Pathway rollout. The lessons learned from your feedback are now helping the rest of the
world have an easier time. Thank you! I would be honored to support in the continued effort
to bring our District forward, with your help, as next year’s District Director. My goal is to
help our members exceed their expectations in leadership, mentoring, and making a positive
difference in our community.
Together, we are getting out of our comfort zone, and into our growth zone!
