TM Kumar Thapa, Bodhi Toastmasters Club
Division O
This term TM Kumar Thapa from Division O had one ‘assigned’ responsibility for the term 2020-21. He was one of the two Division Program Quality Directors. While he was proactive in District- and Division-led initiatives in this regard, he didn’t limit his contribution to the ‘job description’, and in fact, over-delivered. Service at Toastmasters is a voluntary role, yet TM Kumar embraced accountability beyond what was expected of him. He has actively participated and helped organize most of Division O events, has supported newer and weaker clubs of the Division, has helped organize three District events, and has demonstrated unwavering service for the members of Division O. TM Kumar has always maintained high standards of ethics and professionalism.
TM Kumar Thapa has exemplified service leadership proactively and has been an embodiment of integrity, respect, service, and excellence.
