Greetings, dear readers! Let me introduce to you today the Secretary of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club, Mr. Vincent Chen. Vincent is a talented man who looks younger than his age and attributes the credit of his looks to leading an inspired life thanks to his regular and proactive participation in the toastmasters family.

Vincent is one of the rising stars of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club, famous for his speciality in delivering tremendously inspiring speeches. Less than a year into his toastmaster’s journey, Vincent has been known to influence audiences through his speeches that often have very meaningful as well as inspiring morals. A frequent visitor to external clubs, Vincent has been highly appreciated by many in the toastmasters circuit for his oratorical skills.

Vincent’s dedication towards Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club is evident from the fact that he has taken up the very important role of Club Secretary so early on in his toastmasters journey. It is this inspired and enthusiastic attitude that makes Vincent so popular among his peers. He is known for always inspiring speakers with his appreciation of their efforts in preparing a speech.

Vincent is a Human Resources professional who likes to play chess during his free time. When he is free and not playing chess, he likes to put his taste buds to good use as a passionate foodie!

Presented below is a short interview with Vincent about his goals as well as his reasons for joining the Executive Committee:

Why join the Executive Committee?

I joined the Executive Committee primarily to gain and develop a better relationship with our club and its members. In my short stint here, I have witnessed firsthand the concern, drive and warmth of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club in developing not only better speeches but also the friendship that it offers. Therefore, I decided that it would be a good opportunity for me to forge stronger ties with existing members and to source for new ties with new members by joining the Executive Committee. As a result, I shall be able to give back and contribute thoroughly to our beloved club.

What do you intend to gain from your role?

I am probably not a very good listener, and sometimes miss key points and at times jump to conclusions quickly. Moreover, I am also quite new to the club. With my role as Club Secretary, I intend to improve my listening skills and to understand in more detail the club's operations and goals by working together with the other members as a team.

How do you plan to help the club through your role?

Even though my role is a supporting one involving management of a plethora of documentation and minutes of meeting, I believe that the habits of maintaining effective records and disciplined administration will allow the club to make better decisions to further help our members in their journey of becoming better toastmasters.

Any other thought you want to convey?

I believe that it is sincerity, warmth and trust that have brought Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club where it is today. I hope that we can extend these qualities to all members and continue to create new memories, friendship and laughter in the new term. I truly believe that together, we all can make a difference.
