As faith director, I liaised with the church ministries and our Knights of Columbus club for faith events. I presided over the Knight Ride program that has drivers take seniors to church. I organized many events like the Corpus Christi march's dinner afterwards, Knights mass, and Consecration of the Holy Family prayer cards handed out before all masses (with cake served afterwards). I also drafted the surge reports that are sent to head office. Our club won 1st place for the first time in its history and received an award in Minnesota for its Consecration of the Holy Family event (which touched 1,400 churchgoers).

After five years as Toastmaster, I was elected for a one-year term as Club President. Over that time, I presided over a 29% growth in membership, 5th straight year achieving a Distinguished Club status, and a highly successful area speech contest. I also achieved Advanced Communicator Silver and Advanced Leadership Bronze. I am now serving as Past President for the 2015-16 calendar year.

I created a few membership surveys on surveymonkey.com and analyzed the results. I also created a 1/4 page ad and placed it in a community newsletter, and organized some club festivities (Halloween theme night, easter egg table topics, murder mystery).

I scheduled all weekly meetings, assigned roles to all of the members, tracked all member's progress (competent communicator and competent leader tracks), coordinated education sessions, and arranged speeches & mentoring relationships.
