Fluor Communicators

Club Executive 2022/2023

Arobo Ako

President

Arobo started her journey with Toastmaster in February 2021. She migrated to Canada in 2019 and her search for becoming a better communicator in this new terrain endeared her to Toastmasters. At the time she was an employee at Fluor Canada, so Fluor Communicators was an easy pick for a Club but after meeting the members, she knew she was home.
Arobo currently serves the club as the Club President, a role she loves. She says,”I love to serve and make impact but preferably from the back where no one can see me.”
When she’s not toasting, she spends time with family, she enjoys the outdoors, volunteers at Made By Momma, and joins any initiatives for developing women and protecting children from abuse. She dreams of traveling to discover the world and she hopes that one day racism, gender based violence against women, and bullying will be extinct topics.

Marcy Field, DTM

Immediate Past President

Marcy started attending meetings at Fluor Communicators in March 2018. In July 2018, she accepted the role of co-VP Education with Lisa Branch. She served in that role for 2 years, the second time through partnering with Masoud Shahanaghi. In July 2019 she was appointed to the role of Public Relations Manager for Toastmasters District 42. She joined TM to improve her public speaking skills only to discover the organization offers much more.
Marcy is a motorcycle enthusiast (a former rider), a gardener, loves cooking and entertaining, great conversations, and hearing people's stories. She currently works as a social media marketing manager operating as a solopreneur assisting a select group of clients in building community. A social activist, she believes each of us is capable of creating positive change in our world.

Ruby Gunna, LD5, TC3

Immediate Past President

Ruby Gunna has been a member of Fluor Communicators since April 2019. She completed Level 4 in the Leadership Development Pathway in March 2020. Ruby served as the Club Secretary for Fluor Communicators in 2019/2020. She was awarded the Toastmaster of the Year 2019/2020 at the Club level.

Outside of the club, Ruby is a core-team member of the District 42 Tech Team. She served as the Area Director for F26 for 2020/2021. Ruby is also a new member of the High River Toastmasters Club. Ruby was thrilled to have re-started her Toastmasters journey with Fluor Communicators and looks forward to hearing others' stories.

Lisa Branch, DTM
