The National Development Bank PLC (NDB) Toastmasters Club was presented with the prestigious Golden Gavel Award for the third consecutive year at the Reverberation 2017 - Toastmasters International Conference, held in Chennai recently.


The event was held at Hotel Green Park, Vadapalani, with the participation of Toastmasters representing Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, India.


The Golden Gavel Award is the highest recognition a club can achieve in the International District 82, where it recognizes the best Toastmasters clubs in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu.


Reverberation 2017 was a unique, brilliantly tailor-made three-day conference, which gave long-lasting memories for all those who participated. The event brought together over 700 Toastmasters from across Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, while the toastmasters from Tamil Nadu were welcoming all Toastmasters from Sri Lanka with utmost hospitality and warmth.


There were many moments of laughter during the humorous speeches and moments to learn through constructive-positive evaluations during the evaluation contest. These speeches gave an opportunity for the audience to learn from the proficient speakers in the toastmasters’ fraternity. 


Throughout the conference, there were educational sessions, which gave many valuable insights for the audience on achieving excellence through facing challenges in their day-to-day life. These enlightening educational sessions included more than eight speeches from different speakers from all possible speech forms, from a multitude of seemingly unconnected paths like writing, entrepreneurship, creativity, etc.
