Congrats to Dan - What an honor - and he has the respect of the entire Toastmasters World!Dr. Sherri Rafteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211710036890592087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483333562102036594.post-29265359385501803572008-09-03T23:04:00.000-04:002008-09-03T23:04:00.000-04:00Hi Sherri/Craig,I am D D Daruvala a Past District...Hi Sherri/Craig,<BR/><BR/>I am D D Daruvala a Past District Officer from District 80.<BR/><BR/>Effective Immediately has a lot of negative connotations. There is no such thing as resigned for personal reasons,for health reasons or to pursue other interests. All this is a way of diverting the issue and protecting the so called confidentiality.<BR/><BR/>I know of a case where a Director of a public listed company was about to get into the trouble with the law for insider trading.<BR/>They stated that he resigned with immediate effect for health reasons. My foot! <BR/><BR/>It is my dream that all toastmasters can be forthright with each other on all issues with exceptions off course<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483333562102036594.post-62902432971222476642008-07-21T23:15:00.000-04:002008-07-21T23:15:00.000-04:00Hi Craig -Let's hope we find out in a few short we...Hi Craig -<BR/><BR/>Let's hope we find out in a few short weeks!!<BR/><BR/>Can;t wait to connect with you again in CALGARY!!<BR/><BR/>SherriDr. Sherri Rafteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211710036890592087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483333562102036594.post-30444468451033750882008-07-20T09:41:00.000-04:002008-07-20T09:41:00.000-04:00I got the same email from WHQ.
