If the world is in search of one person who is always cheerful, warm and full of encouraging words, this is undoubtedly the person. Look no further; for in Division D, well-nigh in District 80, there is such a gem, shining in this sphere of all fellow Toastmasters. Those who are in the know, and require various kinds of help in any program, there is this special Toastmaster. Call her, email to her or SMS to her, you will get a response and a definite reply for your request. If she could not support you or your club during such and such a time, she will refer your request to another Toastmaster, who will render a support. Such a kind of fellowship and camaraderie is a rarity, never a commodity,

In Yiang Ping you could trust, be it a question, a point to confirm or clarification or a request for an evaluator. She will even spot a chance for you to show your speaking, evaluation or organization set of skills. At my request, I have spoken on my projects a couple of times at her Club; at my request, I have asked for her help to find evaluators many times; at her request I have taken on the challenge to be a contest chair, an opportunity I valued till this day. Actually, the vision of the Toastmasters International is where you need to stretch your sight on as wide as you could visibly eye on. Within sight, be inspired by one who could lead, set an example and yet be a warm person.

At times, or oftentimes, I wonder how she could extract time out of her work, family and her involvement in the Toastmasters. Yet you see her in all of major Toastmasters activities, in her capacity and contribution as webmaster for D80 and in all pertinent and speedy email response. In short, she is a good personification of what Toastmasters International wants in an exemplary leader. Who else, but Yiang Ping is more suitably slated for Div D Governor for the next term?
