About Us

Linda Holden

President

Linda was born in Portland, OR and raised in Lake Oswego, OR. She graduated from Oregon State University in Elementary Education. Then transitioned into the business world. With this change, Linda attended Portland State University for a Post Baccalaureate Degree in Accounting, and then received a CPA certificate. After 40 years of corporate life, retirement was looming. When COVID hit, she took full retirement.

Currently Linda keeps busy in Beaverton Garden Club as the annual Plant Sale Chairmen plus taking care of her own yard, high school class communicator and reunion planning (50th and 55th), and recently signed on as Editor for the Vista House Views Newsletter. Quote to live by: There are always things to do.

Christian T.

VP Education

Christian hails from French speaking Cameroon. He has been in Toastmasters since 2018, and currently working through his 2nd level Pathways project. The club appreciates his motivation and enthusiasm for getting us back to an in-person setting.

Tom Cronkrite

VP of Membership

Tom likes to garden as you can see by the large potato he is holding! Below he is addressing the group, probably discussing corn, tomatoes or how to grow potatoes for the community garden.

Kristin WT

Club Secretary/Treasurer, Past President

Kristin has been in Toastmasters since 2010. She finished her CC after 7 years (but not everyone takes that long). She joined Toastmasters after she saw two people at work with varying levels of speaking skills and appreciated the more experienced speaker. That was the impetus she needed to start looking for a club she could attend. She enjoys the myriad of interesting speeches brought to the club.

Paul Spangler

Past President

Financial Planner, new addition to family. Joined Toastmasters after seeing Tom at a Rotary Club meeting. He has benefited from seeing a smoother delivery of his talks.
