Advanced Toastmaster Award (Asheville) - Keith Challenger, Director of Marketing for Asheville-based Crescent PPO has been awarded the Advanced Toastmaster designation by Toastmasters International, the world-renown communication and leadership training organization. Challenger, who also serves as the organization's Area Governor completed a series of projects designed to improve personal communication and encourage the development of leadership skills. He joins the more than 2 Million people who have benefited from Toastmasters training since the organization began in California in 1924. "A major feature of this program is the opportunity to work with a mentor," commented Challenger who was assigned to work under the guidance of G. Edison Hill, an Asheville attorney and Toastmasters member for more than 50 years. Chuck Greene, an Asheville-based leadership consultant to non-profits across the country, has studied membership trends in volunteer organizations with a club or chapter structure. He suggests that Toastmasters is one of a minority of such organizations that remains viable in the 21st century and continues to experience significant membership growth. There are currently five very active clubs in the Asheville area with new clubs being established in the Ridgefield Business Center and VA Hospital as well as Brevard and Hendersonville.
