Welcome to Making Waves, my Public Relations corner of What's On Deck!
I'm Angelia Ruff, and I'm honored to serve as your District 84 Public Relations Manager. Throughout my careers spanning consumer packaged goods manufacturing to real estate, one lesson has remained constant: every successful brand begins with a great story. The same is true for our Toastmasters clubs.
Every member who earns an educational award, every guest who walks through our doors, every speech contest, every open house, and every leadership journey has the power to inspire someone else. My goal is to help tell those stories and celebrate the incredible impact our members are making throughout District 84.
Making Waves is my opportunity to highlight club spotlights, member achievements, PR ideas, marketing resources, upcoming opportunities, and practical tips to help our clubs grow and thrive. As your District Public Relations Manager, I'm also here to support every Vice President Public Relations. Think of me as part of your team—a resource to help you promote your club, celebrate your successes, and share the stories that make Toastmasters extraordinary. I'd even love it if you invited me to attend a meeting!
📣 Help Me Make Waves!
I can't tell your club's story unless I know about it!
I'd love to hear about:
Club anniversaries and milestones
Educational awards and member achievements
Speech contest winners
Open houses and special events
Community outreach and service projects
Creative PR ideas that are working for your club
Photos and success stories worth celebrating
Together, let's recognize excellence, inspire one another, and create a wave of excitement that reaches every corner of District 84.
Here's to a year of growth, connection, and making waves together!
