The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin
The Toastmasters Podcast is like a radio talk show featuring interviews with Toastmasters usually featured in the Toastmaster magazine. The purpose of the podcast is to amplify the magazine - to dig deeper or to put a voice to a face or written wordBut unlike a radio show, a podcast is on the Internet, and available, for free, to anyone in the world with an Internet connection, and a connected device capable of playing audio. 250+ episodes are at ToastmastersPodcast.comThe Toastmasters Podcast is co-produced by Toastmasters International and Archieboy Holdings, LLC, for our global audience of Toastmasters and those interested in public speaking and leadership.
[27:05] It takes a lot of helping hands to make an International Convention successful. In this episode, recorded live in Vancouver at the 86th annual International Convention, Greg has a conversation with Joe Da Silva, DTM who tells us - what's involved in his role as Volunteer Coordinator Chair overseeing some 240+ volunteers; some of the things he's learned and what people can expect, learn and experience as a volunteer.
In the second half of the podcast, you'll get to meet seven volunteers, many who have taken on various tasks during the event. You'll learn why they signed up to offer at least 10 hours of their time, some of the things they've experienced, even behind the scenes. You’ll no doubt sense the fun they had, the people they met, some memorable moments and the endless opportunities for leadership.
