A TRALEE-BASED author has been elected President of Shilling Speakers, an online international Toastmasters club, with members from 14 countries.

Anthony Garvey said; “The diversity at the club is amazing with six countries represented on our committee alone. We have four TEDx speakers, 11 Distinguished Toastmasters (the highest level a Toastmaster can reach), and 16 advanced members, but we also have 9 complete newcomers.  The club is open to speakers of all levels.  There are six members from Ireland, including another excellent speaker who has made Tralee his home, Sean Lyons, former President of Listowel Writers’ Week.”
