Igniters Keep Reaching for their Goals!


 

Division E Contest

On April 3, 2023 members competed in contests and Igniters are proud of our members. Contests have many benefits including challenging members, learning from feedback, and honing their skills. Mark stepped up in the Evaluation Contest to give feedback to the test speaker and help her become a stronger speaker. Way to go Mark for representing Igniters with your enthusiasm and helpful insights! Congratulations to Darlene (past Igniter) for winning with your creative and heartfelt evaluation.

For the past few weeks, Jeff has been challenging himself to keep making his speech stronger as he won at the Club and Area Contest. Congratulations Jeff on placing third in Division E!! It was a very competitive field of inspiring speakers. Each sharing their ideas, passions, and message for others to learn and keep growing.

A huge thank you to Vicky for helping as timer. It takes many volunteers to help others reach for their goals.

Division and District Circle of Gold

The Circle of Gold is peer mentoring where contestants have the opportunity to receive feedback from top evaluators to help them strengthen their skills. Each of the six Divisions have a Circle of Gold to bring out the best for members. We have many strong evaluators in Igniters and a huge thank you to Mona, Diane, Trevor, Ksenija, Marvin, and Nandini for your commitment to help other contestants grow.
