367th Meeting: Adaptability

Filcom International TMC
367th Meeting Summary
23rd Nov 2019
“Adaptability”

Filcom's 367th meeting was quite a serendipitous experience. Filcom was showered with a bunch of good news. One more champion came out of Filcom Factory in the form of CJ Rojas, who won the Qatar Talks Championship in Inspirational Category for the year 2019 and made every Filcomite proud. It was already a sought after meeting as Nisha Shivram was going to conduct an Educational Session on the ”Rules of the Game.” The icing on the cake was a privilege to welcome a guest from the USA with a triple DTM Crown.

Sergeant-At-Arms Fouad started Filcom's 367th meeting by reading out the club mission and meeting protocol. Right after, President Dennis formally opened the meeting and warmly greeted the guests. Then the floor was handed over to Qatar Talks 2018 champion, Toastmaster of the Day Joseph Amande, who introduced the theme "Adaptability” and made us realized that along with IQ n EQ, AQ is equally important. He then introduced our Triple DTM guest from USA Daniel Grundtner as the General Evaluator. DTM Daniel introduced the speech evaluators and role players for the night: Manij as the Timer, Michelle as the Ah-Counter, and Diana as the Grammarian.
