She also emphasized that the newest Executive Council will be responsible for “Continuing to engender the high standards of communication and leadership training, which has made the club exceptional.”

Furthermore, Jo praised the current President, Susan Stewart and her Executive Council, for the superb job they have done forwarding their 2010-2011 theme, “Winning the Game of Life: Name It, Want It, Get It,” which resulted in the Renaissance Speakers achieving the Toastmasters International President’s Distinguished Award for the twelfth year in a row.
