Executive Board

Anne Shaw-Hanson - President
Toastmasters has and continues to be an extremely rewarding experience. When I stumbled onto the Career Builders Website over 5 years ago, I had no idea I would still be here and able to claim such titles as Past President, ALB , & ACB. As a Professional B2B Sales Representative for over 30 years in custom packaging and packaging equipment, I wanted to improve leadership and communication skills. This club and organization has provided boundless professional and personal growth. I always learn from member speeches and it challenges me to stay up on the latest technologies, as well as interesting and pertinent topics that I can share. I love how this program makes me stretch to achieve higher and higher goals and improve my leadership skills. Thank you Career Builders Club. Connect with Annie on LinkedIn. |

Craig R. Smith - Vice President of Membership
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! www.linkedin.com/in/crsmith1 |

Jana Nakamura
Jana's first impression of Toastmasters came when she was visited her friend's club as a guest in Seattle. Not knowing much previously, it really opened the door to confidence in all speaking situations. Upon her move back to San Diego, Jana visited Career Builders Toastmasters and was sold, joining in 2018. Jana is a project management professional and currently works with Transportation agencies. Outside of work, you can find her looking for new adventures in travel, beach/water activities, delicious food & drink and feeding her obsession with self-improvement.

Peter Shin
Peter is an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry and co-founder of a start-up that provides revenue management solutions for vacation rentals. While developing analytical & writing skills over the course of his education and professional career, it took only one visit to a Toastmasters meeting in 2018 to quickly realize that he needed to develop his verbal communication skills as well.
