A Division of Toastmasters International District 80

Division U
 "Growing the Leader Within U"

District 80 Theme 2008 - 2009 :  "Go for Greatness!"

 

History ---> Hall of Fame  

Division U is the youngest brother among all the divisions in District 80. It was formed on 1 July 2004 comprising 16 clubs formerly under Division S. As of today the number of clubs remains at 16 (with 1 base club (Sunlife) removed from the list and 1 new club (Whampoa) chartered).

The term 2004/05 was a year of events for Division U. There was a period of leadership vacuum almost leading to a crisis. Luckily Division Advisor DTM Patricia Lum took over the challenge to lead us to tide over the difficult period.

Under Patricia's leadership, the performance of Division U turned out to be a pleasant surprise to a lot of us.  Division U achieved Select Distinguished Division Status for the term 2004-2005.
