District Director’s Message Term 2024 – 2025
Dear Esteemed Members of District 102,
I am thrilled to welcome you to the start of a new term in our Toastmasters journey. It is an honour to serve you as your District Director, and I am filled with excitement and optimism for the year ahead. As we embark on this new term, we have the opportunity to set fresh plans and goals that will guide us over the next 12 months.
A new term brings with it a renewed sense of purpose and the chance to map out our aspirations. I urge each of you to take some time to reflect on your personal and professional development goals. What do you want to achieve in the next year? How do you plan to grow as a communicator and leader? Let’s harness this energy and begin planning for the future, ensuring that we set clear, actionable steps to reach our goals.
My vision for this term is to see each and everyone of you emerge as a better version of yourselves by the end of the 12 months. Toastmasters is a unique platform that offers us the tools and support to develop our skills and achieve our dreams. I believe in the potential within each of us, and I am confident that with dedication and effort, we can all make significant strides in our personal development.
One of the values that makes Toastmasters so special is our commitment to supporting one another. Let us continue to foster a conducive learning environment where everyone feels encouraged and empowered. Look out for one another, provide constructive feedback, and celebrate each other’s successes. Together, we can create a vibrant and nurturing community where we all improve and thrive.
I look forward to working with all of you in this big family of District 102. Let’s embrace this new term with enthusiasm and determination, knowing that we are all in this together, striving for excellence and growth.
Thank you for your commitment and dedication. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
Dr. Yvonne Leong, DTM
District 102 Director

我对这一届的愿景是，希望在这12个月结束时，每个人都成为了更好的自己。国际演讲会是个独特的平台，为我们提供了发展技能和实现梦想的机会。我深信每个人都具备内在潜力，通过努力，皆能在个人发展上取得显著进步。
国际演讲会的一大特点是我们彼此之间相互的支持。让我们继续营造一个良好的学习环境，互相鼓励和支持。一起努力，共提供建设性反馈。共庆彼此的成就。那么，我们将可打造一个充满活力和关爱的社区，齐提升、共成长。
我满怀期待与大家在102区这个大家庭中共事合作。让我们满怀热情与决心迎接新届，携手追求卓越和成长。

Warmest Greetings to the Family of District 102,
1st of July marks a new beginning in Toastmasters’ calendar year. 1st of July also marks that our District, District 102 is officially marching into its 8th year since its formation in 2016.
I truly appreciate every one of you for being with us all these years!
Members of District 102, it was the “Why” in you that you embarked on this beautiful learning journey in Toastmasters! It is the passion in every one of us, that we continue to strive for achieving excellence in our learning!
Bruce Lee once said, “Knowing is not enough, we must apply! Willing is not enough, we must do!”
As the District Director for term 2023-2024, I would like to extend my sincere invitation to everyone, let us make District 102 a Smedley Distinguished District!
Let us do this together!
Be Excellent! Reach Out!
Be Excellent!
Let us walk the talk together. Learning and improving in communication and leadership skills through Pathways learning experience work best not just with words, but through our actions. Be an excellent Distinguished member, be an excellent Distinguished Club, together!
Reach Out!
Personal growth includes helping others in their journey of growth. We learn and achieve excellence not only in Toastmasters but in our lives. It is time for us to reach out, to invite more individuals to discover their “Why”, the “Why” of achieving excellence in life. It is so encouraging and enriching to see how our friends learn and grow in life!
Smedley Distinguished District 102, it is not only a dream, but also an achievable dream! Let us make it happen … together!
District Director
CP Lau, DTM
102区域的家人们， 你们好！
7月1日, 象征着国际讲演会开始的新季度，更象征着102区域自成立于2016年后，正式迈入第八个年头。
我非常感恩大家这些年来的不离不弃，一直的陪伴着我们！
102区域的会员们，正是当初你们心里的一个“Why“而开启了这一趟多么美丽的学习之旅！更因为大家的热忱，我们持续的在我们的学习上努力，锦上添花！
李小龙曾经说过，“光是知道是不够的，我们必须加以运用; 光是愿意是不够的，我们必须付诸行动!”
我以102区域, 2023-2024年度区域总监的身份，诚挚的邀请大家，让我们一起努力，让102区域成为”史迈利”卓越区域 (Smedley Distinguished District) !
卓越 和 普及!
卓越!
让我们一起身体力行，以身作则。我们知道, 通过Pathways教育路径可以让我们学习和提升沟通和领导的能力。但是，这不只是喊口号而已。我们必须通过实际的行动，成为卓越的会员，成为卓越的分会！
普及！
个人成长的其中一个元素包括协助他人成长。学习和成为卓越，不只是我们在讲演会里的使命，更是我们生活里需要做到的。当我们能够学以致用，感受到成为卓越的那份荣誉的时候，正是我们把这份学习的精神和追求卓越的态度加以发扬光大的时候！让我们把国际讲演会普及化，让更多的人去发掘心中的那个”Why”，那个在生活里追求卓越的”Why”。看见身边的朋友能够学习和成长，不但令人鼓舞，更丰盛了自己！
完成史迈利卓越102区域，不只是一个梦，这是一个我们共同打造，并且将成为事实的一个伟大的梦！我们携手实现梦想！
102区域总监
刘俊鹏，DTM
