Presenters Janice Kuhn and Sandra Amelino, both Distinguished Toastmasters from Southern California, have navigated their government careers successfully by improving their communication and leadership skills through Toastmasters International. They will share their experiences of overcoming the fear of public speaking to become confident speakers and embrace leadership opportunities along the way.
