Governor-Elect Paul Toussaint

As Governor Gary takes office, I want to bring greetings and my best wishes of success during this 2009-1010 Kiwanis Year.

I also ask him to bring my kindest regards to all his team of Lieutenant Governors with whom he will be working during the year.

All my best wishes of complete success in the fulfillment of his different projects.

I am and will be available to contribute to the Kiwanis Action and I look forward to your suggestions and proposals.

And to the Lieutenant Governors Elect, do not hesitate to get in touch with me for any matter or concern.

Biography

I was born in La Martinique Island, a French Department in the Caribbean Sea.

Pursuing values of fraternity and solidarity, I discovered Kiwanis when I joined the Kiwanis Club of Schoelcher as a Charter Member.

Since, I have mostly been involved in Division 26 and as Trainer at District level.

I have held different positions: Club Officer, Club President, Club President’s Advisor, and Distinguished Lieutenant Governor. I have attended to many International and District conventions.

I have been trained in Public Relations and Business Management in France, Jamaica and in the United States.

During my professional life, I have worked as Director and Head Accountant in different companies. Now retired, all my time is available to serve the Children of the World.

Both my wife and my two children, Paul-Eric and Nadine, are at work and they show all the affection and help needed to fulfill my mission. I don’t forget the Kiwanians from La Martinique, La Guadeloupe and La Guyane with whom I worked more closely, without forgetting all those new friends from Canada and the other islands in the Caribbean I made through Kiwanis. I always have a special touching thought for Jamaica where my youngest brother died.

My mastery of the English language eases my friendly relationship with the men and women of all countries.

I am convinced that love is an important tool for sharing and communicating… and that with you, everything is possible!

I call upon all of you to act and work today for tomorrow. This is our only chance to succeed in Changing the World, one child and one community at a time.
