Welcome Our New Member: A Seasoned Toastmaster with a Passion for Growth
We’re thrilled to welcome Ken Schatzke to our club. Ken brings over a decade of Toastmasters experience, leadership, and inspiration!
After struggling with a college presentation years ago, a helpful instructor suggested Toastmasters. It wasn’t until more than ten years later, when a corporate club opened at their workplace, that Ken decided to give it a try. One demo meeting was all it took — he quickly realized Toastmasters was the perfect place to develop both public speaking and leadership skills.
Since joining in 2012, Ken has achieved remarkable milestones: earning their Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) in 2019, completing two full paths (Leadership Development and Visionary Communication), and now embarking on a third — Motivational Strategies. Their dedication extends beyond personal goals, having served as club president, VP Education, treasurer, and even area director.
When asked what keeps Ken excited about Toastmasters after 13 years, his answer is simple: “It’s a great opportunity to learn and push my boundaries while meeting new people.”
We’re so glad to have Ken bring his enthusiasm, experience, and commitment to growth to our club. Welcome aboard!
