Paul Spangler

Linda Holden

VP of Education

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.

Tom Cronkrite

Tom likes to garden as you can see by the large potato he is holding! Below he is addressing the group (probably discussing corn or tomatoes!) in December 2015.

Dave Hiller is a 59 year old transplant from Minnesota that lives in Tigard for the past 19 years and married to Mina for 23 years. Has one dog named Chance that came to us from Oregon Dog Rescue 6 years ago. Working for Delta Industrial Automation in sales. Toastmasters DTM, past club officer, past area governor, past division governor, past district office including District 7 Governor in 1995-96.

Kristin

Club Secretary/Treasurer, Past President

Kristin has been in Toastmasters since 2010. She just finished her CC after 7 years (but not everyone takes that long). After that 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.

Danielle Holbrook

VP Public Relations

Danielle joined Toastmasters as the speaking opportunities at work were increasing. Though she had taken Communications in college, that seemed like a lifetime ago. Toastmasters has allowed for her to brush off those dusty skills as well as improve on many others.

When she's not preparing for her next Toastmasters speech, she's hitting the trails with friends and family or catching up on the latest HGTV show for her next home project inspo.

Christopher Aedo

Member

Christopher moved to Portland from Los Angeles in 2014 but asks that you not hold that against him. He has two boys and an amazing wife and in his spare time he reads, brews beer, builds things and is on a quest to learn how to do everything.
