"I truly believe in our servant leadership philosophy and the power of its implementation. I have had the privilege to serve in many district officer roles. I have experienced the challenges and the opportunities of each role and worked with teams to creatively face the challenges of these roles. I like sharing these ideas, but more importantly, facilitating the sharing of ideas, techniques, and tools used by all the district leaders."

In District 55, we have come to know Lark as a mentor and a friend. When asked to do something for Toastmasters, she eagerly volunteers, whether at the club level, International level, or any level in between. Lark always wears a touch of gold to represent the golden opportunities that Toastmasters offers. She is known for "Going for the Gold" in her presentations, giving out Hershey's gold nuggets, encouraging each of us to go for the gold in our achievements. She has truly earned the nickname "Golden Lady."

District 55 is proud to be the home of Golden Lady Lark Doley!
