Conference Chair Welcome
                        It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the
                             first-ever virtual District 70 Annual Conference.
                                Our Conference theme is “Embrace Change”
                                  and the current Covid situation presented the
                                   organising committee with an exciting
                                    opportunity to move creatively and think
                                    outside the square to make the Conference
                                     a reality in a new and different
                                     environment.

                                   Our virtual Conference also gives us all the
                                   chance to freely communicate and network
                                  with amazing people from many
                                  nationalities, backgrounds and time-zones
                                 from all corners of the earth. This has never
                                been possible before in a face-to-face
                               conference.

                             In another first, the Conference presents the
                          unique opportunity to learn together from so many
inspiring professional and educational keynote speakers, Toastmasters
Accredited Speakers, a World Champion of Public Speaking, and our own
District stars!

We present you with seven exciting and informative educational
presentations and an entertaining bush poet. You will also be able to chat and
ask questions of the presenters, and network during the breaks. See the best
speakers in the District Evaluation Speech Contest on Saturday afternoon and
the District International Speech Contest on Saturday night. The 2021-22
District 70 Leadership Team will be elected on Saturday morning at the
District Council Meeting, and you will meet the incoming team on Sunday
afternoon.

My sincere appreciation to the District 70 District Director Lorinda Logaraj
DTM, Program Quality Director Kay Wood DTM and Club Growth Director
Mitsie Kent DTM for their support and leadership guidance. Many thanks also
to the Conference Team listed in this Program Book.

May we all value the time we spend together, may we grasp it with both
hands and make our own wonderful opportunities to carry with us in the
years to come.

DISTRICT 70 VIRTUAL ANNUAL CONFERENCE - Friday 14th May - Sunday 16th May - District 70 Toastmasters
District Director Welcome
                         I wish to begin by warmly welcoming all members
                             and guests to the District 70 Annual Virtual
                               Conference for 2021, a first in the history of
                                 District 70.

                                  The theme of the Conference for this year
                                  is “Embrace Change”, a fitting motif for the
                                   unprecedented change we have all
                                   experienced in our lives over the past 14
                                   months. There have been many changes
                                   for members and clubs and for your
                                  District as a whole. I am incredibly proud
                                  of the members who, despite the many
                                 challenges, have embraced change, adapted
                                and shown great resilience. The skills we
                              have learned during this time will hold us in
                           good stead for many years to come.
                         Our future is bright.

I am sure you will enjoy the many educationals, Keynotes and Contests that
are available for the weekend. Please take the opportunity to mix and make
new connections during the social networking and breakout events on offer
throughout the Conference. There will be opportunities to hear the ideas of
our future leaders at the Candidates Showcase on Friday night. On Saturday
we have the District Council Meeting and the International Speech Contest.
I wish all contestants every success and hope you enjoy the experience.

I wish to thank the Annual Conference Chair Rosemary Medcalf and members
of her team, particularly the Division Directors and their respective teams and
the Program Quality Director Kay Wood for ensuring that we have a
successful conference.

I wish all of you success and hope you continue to derive much personal
satisfaction and a sense of achievement as you continue your Toastmaster
journey.

District Director 2020-2021

International Director Welcome
                        Members of District 70. The last eighteen months
                          have been a period of tumultuous change and,
                            like it or not, every member has had to
                              embrace that change.

                                 Humankind, in our evolution, has needed to
                                 embrace change or be left behind. Change
                                  is a constant in our lives however the
                                  hardest change to make is changing our
                                  mind! Change requires one to embrace the
                                  unknown.

                                  The evolution of online meetings and
                                 training has excited many of our members
                                who have continued to develop their
                              technical skills, it has challenged many who
                            have struggled but, ultimately, have risen to
                          that opportunity. Others, unfortunately, have
                       chosen to stand still and some, indeed, have stagnated.

Our educational program, Pathways, epitomizes one of our greatest changes
as an organization. Members have chosen to embrace the change and accept
the countless opportunities on offer… despite the perceived obstacles. Others
have rejected this as an opportunity and remained on the sidelines or, even,
ceased their journey. I ask you this. Do you embark on a road trip thinking
that there will be green lights throughout the journey, or do you accept the
potential detours, visit the ‘i’ centers and stop for the occasional coffee?
That is ‘life’!

Many of our developed countries decree that there will be no manufacture of
petrol-driven cars after 2030. What are your options then? Do you stop
driving? Or do you embrace that change, adapt and adopt?

As Toastmasters, do you stop learning or do you embrace the change, adopt
and adapt. All change can be an opportunity for you…if you embrace it.

Yours in Toastmasters

Regional 12 Advisor Welcome
                        2020-2021 the year District 70 members, Club and
                           District leaders faced the ongoing pandemic head
                             on by embracing change. Moving most of what
                               we do in Toastmasters online has been
                                 challenging for members and leaders alike.
                                  With this came opportunities, like this
                                  virtual conference and the incredible line up
                                  of International and Australian presenters.
                                   The Conference Committee lived up to the
                                   theme “Embrace Change”.

                                   Throughout this past year, the external
                                  factors have been unpredictable. In light of
                                 this, the focus of the District leaders has
                                remained on our members, their
                               Toastmaster’s experience and most
                             importantly their safety. District 70 you are
                          fortunate to have a District leadership team that
leads from the heart while having the courage to make tough decisions.

We will never be the same, District 70 will never be the same and
Toastmasters International will never be the same.

We have all grown through this experience. We have proven that we can face
challenges head on and find a way forward.

We do not shy away from change; we EMBRACE CHANGE and make change
work for us.

Thank you for embracing change, your personal growth and Toastmasters.

Kind regards

                                 “Not Just A Pile of Stones”
                                    Freddi is a passionate Toastmaster of 19
                                    years, is a Distinguished Toastmaster and
                                    an Accredited Speaker, (#75 in the world)
                                    plus a double District 42 Champion in
                                    Table Topics and Evaluation contests. She
                                   believes the power to build people,
                                   communities and clubs lies in our
                                  relationships with each other. She lived
                                 400kms north of the Arctic Circle for 6 years
                               where she travelled to the remote communities
                              to meet the people and was one of the first
                          female “Ice Road Truckers”. She embraced the
changes for the culture of the south to the far north.

Her home club, Dynamically Speaking Toastmasters, has gained 24 new
members since the pandemic virus closed all in person meetings in 2020. This
club embraced the changes by immediately moving to a Zoom platform and
building relationships, one person at a time around the world. They now have
members across the province of Alberta Canada, in the USA, in Kenya, Mexico
and Ecuador.

Change is a constant, embrace it and grow!

                                  Shane Fitzsimmons AFSM is the Head
                                  of Resilience NSW and previously
                                   the Commissioner of the New South Wales
                                   Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) between
                                   September 2007 and April 2020.
                                 Fitzsimmons joined the NSW RFS as a
                                 volunteer member of Duffy's
                                 Forest Brigade in 1985. After qualifying as a
                                motor mechanic, he became a salaried
                               Officer in the NSW RFS in 1994, taking on the
                              role of Regional Planning Officer for the
                             Central East Region. He became State
                          Operations Officer in 1996 and two years later
                        was named Assistant Commissioner, Operations. This
role later became expanded and restyled as Assistant Commissioner, Regional
Management and Strategic Development. He was awarded the Australian Fire
Service Medal in 2001.
In 2004, Fitzsimmons became the inaugural visiting fellow of the Australasian
Fire Authorities Council to the Australian Institute of Police Management. He
held this role for 12 months. After serving as Executive Director Operations
and Regional Management, Fitzsimmons was appointed Acting Commissioner
in mid-2007 and was officially endorsed as NSW Rural Fire Service
Commissioner on 18 September 2007.
Fitzsimmons received widespread and varied comments for his leadership
during the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season after he commented that NSW
Rural Fire Service volunteers wouldn't want to be paid. He has been praised
for his high level of empathy, solemnity and calmness in an extremely difficult
time. In April 2020, Fitzsimmons accepted an appointment to be the Head
of Resilience NSW, a new government agency focused on disaster
preparedness and recovery approach. He started his new position on 1 May
2020.
He was named the NSW Australian of the Year in 2020 and was a contender
for the Australian of the Year in 2021.

                            Gregory North DTM
                                 A resident of the Blue Mountains NSW,
                                  Gregory North is a writer and performer of
                                  bush poetry and yarns. His quirky humour
                                   and bent for accents make him unique
                                   among bush verse entertainers. He literally
                                   ‘lives’ each character, whether it’s the coal
                                   seam gas miner, the complaining granny or
                                   a rather camp Clancy of The Overflow.

                                  Since his first major competition win at the
                                 ‘Man From Snowy River Festival’ in 2004,
                                Greg has won a string of performance poetry
                               awards including Australian Bush Poetry
                              Champion in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

                       He has also competed four times at the National
Poetry Slam. In late 2006 Greg won his first award for written poetry – a first
place in the Gippsland Wattle Bush Poetry Award – followed by several other
written competition wins.

Known for his rendition of Banjo Paterson’s ‘The Man From Snowy River’ in 15
different accents and a variety of other characters, he’s not your typical bush
poet.

Greg performs regularly at Matilda Country Tourist Park and the North
Gregory Hotel in Winton, Queensland.

                                  Poet & Philosopher Khalîl Jubrãn says:
                                  “Your pain is the breaking of the shell that
                                  encloses your understanding.” Every
                                  painful experience carries a lesson, and we
                                  continue to suffer until it has taught us
                                 what we need to learn. The biggest lesson
                                 our pain teaches us, is that our pain can
                                either turn us into a Victim, shape us into a
                                Warrior, or transform us into a Victor.

                              Sarah Khan is a professional speaker, trainer,
                           activist, advocate, and a peace monger. Her ongoing

                                  a word, a partnership in
                                  meaningful change”
                                  Thirty years ago Mike joined the

                                  Queensland, Australia), little knowing
                                  where it would lead him. Mike, who is very
                                 competitive, became a District Table Topics
                                Champion and has also won the District
                               Evaluation competition, but it was the
                             leadership track where he finally found his
                           ambition leading, culminating in being
                        Toastmasters International President in 2016-2017.

                                  “Moving to Unity of Heart,
                                  Mind and Body”
                                    Cultural differences do not have to lead to
                                    cultural confusion. Somehow we have
                                   moved away from our oneness to
                                   concentrating on what we perceive to be
                                  unbridgeable conflicts. Perhaps the greatest
                                 challenges are that we do not know how to
                               start the conversation, think through a
                              solution or put that solution into action.
                           We can do that and more but we must allow
                        ourselves to do three things: be honest, accept
ourselves and others and be intentional about actions to work towards unity.
Join in and start the change you want to see.

                                     A failed school kid who turned adversities
                                     into opportunities, from Martial Arts to
                                     Movies. Over the years Greg has
                                    accomplished an incredible level of
                                   achievement...the world's youngest
                                  professional Natural Bodybuilder, a multiple
                                black belt martial artist, and award winning
                              Hollywood film maker. But the successes aren't
                          what made him. It was forging his pathway to those
achievements that taught Greg the value of the true Warriors Code. Battling
through failure and loss, it was his resilience and ability to change and adapt
as a warrior that gave him the strength to turn setbacks into comebacks that
have made him the champion, mentor and speaker he is today.
