“Ann Williamson is one of the most honest and joyful people I have ever met. I got to work with Ann on several projects in Toastmasters and have been in the same club with her for over two years. She volunteered to be a Division Governor when she knew it would require a lot of travel and the perception she was an outsider. She worked hard and built teams and relationships with the decked stack against her. I cannot wait to work with Ann again.”
