Amãna Bank’s Toastmaster (TM) Dilan Joseph was adjudicated as the Sri Lankan Champion of the Toastmasters District 82 International Speech Contest which was recently held on a virtual platform and will now go on to represent Sri Lanka in the Region 13 Quarter Finals.
Having previously won the Club, Area and Division contests with his enthralling speech, Mr. Joseph competed amongst the country’s finest orators in the national competition representing eight Divisions constituting 179 corporate and community clubs in Sri Lanka. Titled ‘The Gap’, his speech gave one key message, which is applicable to all, that is accept yourself for who you are, the bank said in a media release.
Going forward with his dream of becoming a World Champion, Mr. Joseph, representing the entire Sri Lankan Toastmasters fraternity, will compete amongst country winners from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia at the Region 13 Quarter Finals. District 82 of Toastmasters International is known to be a breeding ground for champion public speakers, witnessing three World Champions of Public Speaking during the short span of the last seven years, including producing Sri Lanka’s one and only world champion - Dananjaya Hettiarachchi.
Mr. Joseph, who is attached to Amãna Bank’s Retail Banking Division as the Manager Digital Customer Experience, is the incumbent President of Amãna Bank Toastmasters Club.
Sharing his views, Mr. Joseph said “I am truly blessed to have won this competition and would like to congratulate all other participants who gave out their best at the District contest as well all others who contested in the runner up from Club level onwards.”
