2024 – 2025 District Leader Candidates
James Gable, DTM
Candidate for District Director
I love the opportunities that Toastmasters has provided me. I want to give back to the organization as well as support and be a part of giving opportunities to others so I can see them grow.
Ruth Prentice, DTM
Candidate for Program Quality Director
Two words come to mind: passion and gratitude. Toastmasters provides incredible opportunities for personal growth. I am grateful to my many TM mentors for supporting me and placing their confidence in me. I want to continue to learn from them and help others succeed personally and professionally.
Kimberly Angell Candidate for Club Growth Director
I enjoy training others on roles that I have participated in within the club and district setting. I look to become a resource that is invaluable during my service as Club Growth Director and beyond.

Terry Ploski, DTM
FOOTHILLS DIVISION
Allow members to identify potential and take SMART steps to overcome failure and obstacles to achieve personal and professional success…
Greg Howell
METRO DIVISION
I believe in the mission of District 26 and want to be a part of leading the district to success and excellence. I consider myself to be a servant leader (I was asked so I am happy to serve).
REENA McCOY
Northern Division
Membership is a challenge for many of the clubs in our District. Helping clubs find creative ways to overcome this challenge through social media use, events and training/education would be a major objective. I believe that another challenge is getting members to step up into leadership roles.
CHAD MANIFOLD
SOUTHERN DIVISION
I want to serve our southern division Toastmasters and their clubs to help them accomplish their personal and professional goals. I look forward to leveraging the coach approach I use in my business to partner with clubs to help them dream again, and realize how Toastmasters can accelerate accomplishing the stretch goals.
TOM WENDLING
URBAN DIVISION
To me, our noble purpose is to help each other find our own voices. Empowering people to advocate for themselves and for those they care about requires speaking and leadership skills, which are shareable. I want to benefit from one of the best leadership training models to help myself, my family, and my community learn and then share those skills.
