"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit"

Dear Members and Leaders of District 105,

It is a great honor to serve as your District Club Growth Director for 2025–2026. This is a privilege I hold with deep respect and purpose.  At this juncture, my enthusiasm knows no bounds to continue the habit of Excellence set by my predecessor.

This past year, our District 105 Team faced and overcame many challenges — from reviving struggling clubs and driving new growth. Through collective effort and unwavering commitment, we emerged with the prestigious recognition of being a President’s Distinguished District. This recognition is not just a reflection of numbers — it is a testament to our dedication, teamwork, and the incredible potential of our members and leaders.

As your Club Growth Director, I have pledged to be your face in fulfilling the aspirations of our District 105 – 1. To retain Clubs and Members; 2. To expand by facilitating formation of New Clubs with New Members and 3. Support our leaders and members to fulfill our objective of retention and expansion.

I recognize the importance of teamwork and of being a good team member.  I invite you to be part of this grand team and promote the mission of Toastmasters International. Let us build a legacy of excellence in both Retention and Expansion based on quality Club meetings.

Our Retention Team will focus on supporting each Division, Area and Club within District 105 to conduct innovative quality meetings whereby existing members learn by giving and the team gains by collaborating

Our Growth Team will focus on starting new clubs by conducting open house programs, speech-craft programs and demo meetings to  attract new members who could are potential good communicators and/or good leaders.

The path ahead may not always be smooth, but we will walk through it as a team. building a strong, and vibrant District 105. I encourage you to be part of our combined effort by contributing in THOUGHT, WORD OR DEED.

I look forward to hearing from you personally  by reaching out to me on my email : suryakant.kirloskar@gmail.com

Yours truly,
