Candidate for Division B Director
Abraham Alfaro, ACB, ALB

Abraham Alfaro has been a Toastmaster for five years, seven months, and twenty-one days.

He has been the Area 35 Director since March of 2017, filling in for the late Lucas Murphy
when the latter had to step away. As candidate for Division B Director, he is already creating
a platform focused on club growth, leadership development, and the Distinguished Club
Program. Abraham wants to (1) promote the growth of existing clubs and the development

of new clubs within Division B, (2) create a cadre of leaders who can help the Division grow
and be available to move into leadership positions, and (3) encourage clubs to work the
Distinguished Club Program because he believes the Distinguished Club Program is the best
way to create healthy, vibrant clubs.

As Area Director, Abraham created a weekly newsletter that he sends out to all the members
of Area 35 to keep them aware of various noteworthy Toastmasters-related items. Some topics
of his newsletters have included a six-week series on successful club management strategies

following his first round of club visits, reminders of upcoming Toastmasters events and
important dates, and promotion of the District 7 YouTube channel and PR Director James
Wantz’ Pathways videos.
