Communication & Leadership Awarded for 2012



March 22, 2012

Toastmasters District 53 Committee is pleased to award Ms. Donna Palomba its Spring 2012 Communication and Leadership Award.  The C and L Award is bestowed upon a non-Toastmaster who has exemplified outstanding communication and community leadership.   Ms. Palomba will be honored at the District 53 Spring Conference 2012 Communication and Leadership Luncheon being held at The Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, CT on Saturday, May 19.
Founder of Jane Doe No More, Ms. Palomba has fueled a powerful social movement:  RAPE awareness and education.   Her extraordinary ability to craft and share her personal moving story of survival and resilience has inspired victims to empower themselves through the power and art of narrative.  These narratives have brought together a courageous community of victims and their families.  Under Donna’s leadership and training, this community is working together to lead outreach forums across New England.   Her organization and work has received national media recognition and local award recognitions. 
Ms. Donna Palomba is applauded for employing Toastmasters principles of public speaking and leadership to educate and empower communities.  Please join us in celebrating Ms. Donna Palomba’s achievements and community future successes.
