The meeting was conducted at COP Al Khor office which was chaired by Moza Ibrahim Al Mohannadi, Community Liaison Lead.
“The interest and support we received from members of the youth centres for the Toastmasters programme was very encouraging. The active participation of these members and their enthusiasm to share the benefits of the Toastmasters programme will go a long way in ensuring that the three new clubs are off to a good start,” Al Mohannadi said.
The Program Chairman and Division E Governor Nasimudheen Abdul Hameed briefed the attendees about Toastmaster International and its role in improving the Communication and Leadership skills.
“Every young person has the potential to become a good communicator and leader, but this potential needs to be developed. The programme’s unique, workshop-style design enables participants to develop this potential through practical experience. This project also will concentrate on Women & men empowerment in line with Qatar National Vision 2030,” Hameed said.
