Tulia Lopes, DTM, started in 2009 at the Prestigious Speakers in Barcelona. She got hooked to Toastmasters from the beginning and in 6 months after joining she became the VP Education, and consequently the President of Prestigious Speakers the following year. While living in Zurich, Switzerland she co-founded two clubs: Top Notch Toastmasters Zurich and Walk the Talk Advanced Toastmasters. She is currently member of Prostmasters Munich and M.E.A.T. where she is happy to serve as VP Membership. Advanced clubs are a challenge because they have to provide an extra edge that will differentiate them from other standard clubs. And in M.E.A.T. we, the officers, are up for the challenge to meet the high expectations of our members.
