Ellis Suriyati is the first female International Director from Malaysia as well as OSEAL (Orient and South-East Asia Lions) constitutional area. In Malaysia, she was selected among 7 Past Officers of the Association, from 3 Sub-Districts. She was the only female candidate among the 7 candidates of International Director to represent Malaysia.
Ellis is someone who is approachable, good in appreciating people. She is good in saying the good words, the little compliments and praises at the right time.
When she visited our District Cabinet meeting as the International Director, she addressed the DG and his Cabinet. In her address, she mentioned my name and cabinet position and said something good. Gee…she really made my day.
At another Training event whereby she was the Guest-of-Honor, in her speech, she had again mentioned me being the District Trainer, the Leadership Development District Chairman, and the FDG (Future District Governor).
Wow…magnificent spokesmanship…so I am equally interested to blog about her in this blog.
