Anne Shaw-Hanson - Immediate Past President | Club Mentor
Anne joined CareerBuilder’s Toastmaster club over 8 years ago. She feels strongly that the Toastmaster’s program has contributed directly to her rising success as a Professional Sales Representative, as well as impacting her personal life. “There is something so empowering once you have the confidence of your voice to speak up and speak out.” Having been involved over the years on the club’s board, she has taken on the roles of Club President, Secretary, Sgt. at Arms and VP of Mentorship. These roles have offered her a safe environment to stretch and test herself as a leader and communicator. Her favorite part of Toastmasters – “ all of it”! Connect with Anne on LinkedIn. |
Craig S. - Club Member | Club Mentor
Craig joined Toastmasters in June 2022 in an effort to expand and deepen his skills as a leader, speaker and evaluator at St. Paul’s Senior Services. His boss and mentor at St. Paul’s, Todd Kaprielian, is a longtime Toastmaster with the Smooth Talkers Club, presently serving as their VP of Public Relations and having been past President and Area Director. He encouraged and supported Craig’s participation, knowing the value it would bring to both Craig’s professional and personal life. It didn’t hurt that the CareerBuilders Club meets at St. Paul’s Conference Center, across the street from Craig’s office. Craig is excited about his new position as VP of Membership and has already recruited a few friends and some co-workers at St. Paul’s. Craig and Todd promote Toastmasters every month at St. Paul’s New Hire Orientation. Craig’s favorite role at Toastmasters is being the Topics Master, adding his own sense of fun and games to the proceedings, leaving members with a smile on their face and something sweet in their hand!
