The theme “Excelling Together”?
The theme of our DTAC 2014 is a logical extension
of the noble mission of the Toastmasters club which talks about mutually
supportive and positive learning environment wherein we are embarking a journey
together on the path of excellence
and no one is left behind. A DTAC Visitor will ‘relish’ this theme as it will
be coupled with endearing hospitality of this enchanting land of Oman. Golden
sands of Al Bustan hotel’s private beach, vivid hues of blue colors of Arabian
seas, grandeur of majestic structure of the venue, balmy sea breeze, enlightening
education sessions and workshops, closely fought contests everything put
“together” will make us excel together.
What sets DTAC 2014’s education experience apart?
It will be a perfect blend of
East-West cuisine which will be spiced with local condiments. Let me elaborate.
We will be hosting Ms. Judy Cater from Western part of the globe i.e. US and
she will be complemented by TM Kingie Biddle coming all the way from Maoris
plains (New Zealand) in East. It is a wonderful combo treat for our delegates,
as Judy carter is known for her trade mark inspiring and belly-laughing
keynotes while TM Kingie is humor personified. Therefore it will be a laugh
riot in Bustan. Just to highlight further, TM Kingie Biddle is the guy who
showed us how to make use of “the sitting place” during 2013 world
championships and afterwards he walked with runner up trophy. Apart from these
two visiting speakers; we will be having workshops and educational sessions
both in English and in Arabic language by our own experts from District 20.
Having attended quite a few
DTACs in the past, I have never come across such a sumptuous spread of
educational sessions; hence this spread sets DTAC 2014 apart.
What impression do you want the DTAC 2014 visitors leave with?
Way back in 2002 we had
organized a similar event in the same venue (though it was not called DTAC
then), even after a decade the memories of that event still lingers in the
minds of many like the soothing fragrance of Omani bukhoor.
We, the Organizing Team of DTAC
2014 would like to leave similar everlasting indelible impressions in the minds
of our delegates. Impressions of quality contests, objective judgments,
enriching educational sessions, inspiring key note address, crisp and concise
award ceremonies, sumptuous gourmets, electrifying opening ceremony, Gala
dinner party and above all ever smiling Omani hospitality showered by all
Oman’s toastmasters family.
Even if the delegates “leave” us, DTAC 2014 will continue to “live” in their hearts forever.
A word to conclude!
Be
there, let us excel together. Allow us to impress you with our hospitality so
much so that when asked about the DTAC 2014, you will say O-Man!! You rocked.
