London resident is named for Communication & Leadership Award

LONDON, Ontario - Oct. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Every year members of Toastmasters District 86 present the Communication and Leadership Award to a non-Toastmaster in the community who is an outstanding communicator or leader and who best exemplifies Toastmasters values. This year we are pleased to announce Chris Moss at Moss Leadership Consulting as the recipient of this prestigious award.

After 23 years working in the nonprofit sector, Chris Moss has worked with many types of organizations to help create a positive yet lasting impact in people's lives. Working on the front line caring for people with significant physical disabilities, mental health issues, homelessness and housing concerns and teenage parents taught her a lot about her own leadership. Now, as a new business owner and consultant in the areas of community and leadership she works to develop young leaders, reenergize older leaders and create caring, innovative and authentic leaders who work with our most vulnerable populations. Always wanting to shake up the status quo and help people to look at life in new ways, Chris strives each day to challenge people to do more than they ever imagined was possible.

The award will be presented during the District 86 Fall Conference at Communication & Leadership Luncheon on Saturday, November 8, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Lamplighter Inn, in London, ON.

Here is a list of some of the past recipients of this award:
• Lorraine Leslie (publisher);
• Dave Sopha (artist);
• James Bartleman (Lieutenant Governor Of Ontario, 2002-2007);
• Dr. Roberta Bondar (Astronaut);
