"Frederick is honored to have Jim Key - simply put, Jim is a difference maker.

Seven 40 minutes educational sessions covering topics important not only to Toastmasters, but anyone looking to be a better communicator and leader will attract travelers from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. That evening Jim Key will appear for 'Meet & Greet' cocktails to share his professional speaking experiences this will help broaden the perspective of our ever-expanding attendee base," said Pearl. In addition, the conference will benefit from the contribution of dynamic speakers : John Comberiate, Distinguished Toastmaster, Pearl Matibe, 2016 District 18 Table Topics Champion, Clyde Middleton, DTM John Maxwell Team, Past District Director and Panelists: Mona Mohamed, Frank & Karen Storey, Holly Burgess-Pyle, Joey Gibbons and Leroy Allen – all tenured Toastmasters.
