VP, Public Relations: Open VP, Membership: Bob Goodman Bob joined Traffic Toastmasters in 2005 and has exhibited extraordinary speaking talent especially with his evaluation and impropmtu speeches. He already has several TM trophies on his desk. When not competing in speech contests, Bob works successfully as a commercial real estate broker and has been doing so for over 20 years. It's also worth mentioning that Bob serves on the NYU Alumni Board of Directors. We're proud to have him as our VP of Membership. Treasurer: Bob Harris Bob Harris joined Traffic Toastmasters approximately two year ago. Professionally, fundamentally, Bob is involved with research and analysis applied to business, although that sounds too vanilla to describe what he actually does. In words of his own choosing Bob is in the understanding and communications business. His knack is for absorbing information and getting it in forms that are orderly, insightful and marketable. In a nutshell, he gets information in shape to payoff. Critical thinking is his strength. He uses words and language well, but prefers to communicate by writing more than speaking. Also, he’s soft spoken by nature and not a natural conversationalist. He came to Traffic Toastmasters to address these issues. Seargeant at Arms: Wayne Messick Wayne has been participating in Toastmasters since 1995 and previously served as the club's President. Wayne's style of leadership is very casual and unassuming. He is a terrific speaker and an excellent Toastmaster to emulate. As an organizational consultant he helps successful family businesses develop an atmosphere of shared goals in order to address the challenges characteristically faced when they are planning for the future of their operations - beyond the current managing generation. Secretary: Matthew Bauer (CTM) Matthew Bauer has been the VP of Education since 2003. During a short period of time after joining the Traffic Club, Matthew earned his CTM and has, without doubt become a very polished speaker. Matthew is an excellent role model for the rest of us. He will be announcing and delivering a structured educational agenda to get and keep the new members motivated. Webmaster: Rebecca Haniff Rebecca is a bold and self-determined individual who isn't afraid to make tough decisions. She joined the Traffic Club in 2004 and has been a dedicated and active member. She volunteered to put her expertise in software engineering to work for the club in assuming the role of Webmaster as well as Secretary. When not working or attending TM meetings, Rebecca enjoys practicing and taking Karate lessons. Designations CTM, ATM, and DTM identify different levels of achievement in Toastmasters International.

He really enjoys coming to Traffic Toastmasters to improve his communication skills and to be with friends. His outgoing and energetic personality is one of the reasons he transitioned from engineering to sales. "When I first joined a club, I was a nervous wreck. I'm better now, but still not where I want to be. So, that's why I still come to the meetings to participate." Susan Gross Susan, who is an executive at a major financial firm, has been a member since 2000. As dedicated member she had previously served the roles of Treasurer and VP of PR. It's always wonderful to see Susan up on stage. She seems very comfortable and puts the audience at ease. Jing Shih (CTM) Jing has extensive background in building online applications.
