The members of District 23 Toastmasters elected Granville, a learning specialist with ADP in El Paso, to the role of District Director for the 2019-2020 Toastmasters year. Granville has previously served as an Area Director and Club Growth Director for the district. He's been instrumental in leading the district officers and members in the growth of new clubs as well as helping train them to deliver excellent member experiences in their own clubs.
Working with other elected district officers, Granville will assemble the next team of district officers. While their terms of office begin on July 1, 2019, they are already hard at work.
"When we are focused, we are able to recognize our importance," said Granville. "When we are passionate, we surpassed all expectations. This formula has proven true as I humbly step into the role of District Director and will be the foundation of our leadership going forward."
