Empower committee strives to provide our members with the optimal club experience.
Toastmasters is often seen primarily as a public speaking organisation but it is also a leadership development program. There are several opportunities for you to develop your leadership abilities in a meaningful way. The Empower Club Executive Committee is elected every year and consists of eight members who are elected by the club members. This committee leads all aspects of club management and also represents us at the wider Toastmasters network.
EMPOWER COMMITTEE 2025 - 2026
PRESIDENT
At the helm of Empower Toastmasters Club, Fouzia leads with warmth, vision, and an infectious energy. As President, she inspires members to step beyond their comfort zones, transform nervous whispers into confident voices, and turn simple speeches into stories that resonate.
With a career spanning corporate boardrooms and entrepreneurial ventures, Fouzia brings both strategy and creativity to the club. She believes leadership is not about titles but about lifting others—and she embodies that by creating a stage where every member feels seen, valued, and empowered to shine.
VICE PRESIDENT, EDUCATION
As Vice President Education, I’m passionate about helping members grow in their communication and leadership journey. Outside Toastmasters, I work as a Digital Marketing Executive at a Human Resource Consulting firm, supporting business and development activities. My interests include gyming, traveling, and networking, all of which fuel my love for connecting with people and building meaningful relationships. Health and leadership are close to my heart—I hold an accreditation from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Improving Your Business Through a Culture of Health.
