Wendy Husser was the contest chair for the English International Speech Contest and the Evaluation Contest. Wendy created a wonderful atmosphere for the contestants and audience alike. With her humorous and gracious style, she was the red thread of an engaging and memorable afternoon.

Alin Stefaniu was behind the scenes making everything happen as usual! He was the chief judge keeping his judges informed about the contest guidelines and even found the time to film us on stage. Thank you Alin and Wendy! Afterwards, we went for dinner and had a lively bilingual discussion with other Toastmasters from Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden.

Join us for the next level contest called the Division Contest on Saturday, April 27th in Berlin. It’s an excellent opportunity to hear inspiring speakers and meet others who share a passion for self development, communication and leadership in the Toastmasters style. If you are interested in taking on a role as timer, judge, etc… please contact Alin.
