About Bernard Delacruz, PhD & Toastmasters

I have been a member of the Toastmasters organization since June 2008. I earned my Competent Communicators certificate in March 2010. I am working on my Advanced Communicator Bronze and Competent Leadership certificates.

I have been a member of the following clubs:

• Aug 2011 — Narrators Toastmasters, Manhattan Beach, CA.
• Jun 2010 – May 2011 — Life Tech Toastmasters, Carlsbad, CA.
• Jan 2009 – Mar 2010 — Biotoasters, La Jolla, CA.
• May 2008 – Oct 2008 — Expresso Toastmasters, Upland, CA. This was my first club.

I have held the following officer positions:

• VP Public Relations/Webmaster, Narrators Toastmasters
• VP Education, Life Tech Toastmasters
• VP Public Relations/Webmaster, Biotoasters
• VP Public Relations/Webmaster, Expresso Toastmasters

Toastmasters has been an excellent place for me to improve my public speaking and leadership skills. I have also been working on my webmaster skills by creating and managing the websites for both BioToasters and Expresso Toastmasters.

I was interviewed by scientists and public speaking by Voice of San Diego in August 2010.
