Meet the D7 Trio

Phyllis Harmon, DTM

I asked our 2019-20 District 7 Trio (the top three
District leaders) to answer questions about themselves
and their vision for the District. In the following pages

you will learn more about the three people who were
elected to guide the members of District 7 towards
success.

Emilie Taylor, DTM - District Director

Why did you join Toastmasters?
I joined Milwaukie Talkies Toastmasters Club in

April 2014. I joined for the wrong reason—I needed
friends. My brother suggested that I check out
Toastmasters. I can honestly say he was right. I found
friends, the ones that support and care about me and

my growth. When I first stepped into the club, I found
a warm and supportive environment. Members of
Milwaukie Talkies were glad to see me. They welcomed
me with smiles and a guest packet. Char, a long-time

member of the club, sat next to me and explained what
the club was about. She was the real reason I came
back and joined the club. Clapping for everything was
something I had to get used to. Now I am the biggest

cheerleader in my club meetings.
