WHEREAS:
The
fear of public speaking is one of people’s biggest
fears. In today’s competitive job market, companies

and coherently is essential to advancement in almost all
occupations; and

For
over 80 years, hard-working volunteers and staff members
have been dedicated to developing and improving the public
speaking skills of thousands of individuals across the
globe. Their dedication to this cause boosts the level
of confidence and creativity, improves leadership skills
and ultimately leads to increased production in the workplace;
and
WHEREAS:
Toastmasters
Week is an effort to inform the public of the importance
of public speaking and the benefits of improving public
speaking skills; now
THEREFORE:
I,

proclaim April 27 - May 3, 2008, as TOASTMASTERS WEEK
in Georgia and call this observance to the attention of
our citizens.

Executive Department to be affixed this 21st day of April
in the year of our Lord two thousand eight.
