Leaders in the Wild: Chris Rimple

February 10, 2026

The Leaders in the Wild campaign is a recognition initiative designed to "catch" and celebrate Toastmasters members who demonstrate leadership in real-time, often behind the scenes.

District 2 is proud to recognize Chris Rimple as the first recipient of our Leaders in the Wild campaign. 

During the Leadership Summit, Chris demonstrated exceptional proactive leadership. Recognizing the complexity of a hybrid event at Bellevue City Hall, he worked directly with event staff to fine-tune the technical setup. His efforts ensured that our remote attendees didn't just "watch" the meeting but were fully immersed in a high-quality audio-visual experience.

In a world where hybrid communication is the new standard, Chris’s dedication to excellence helps keep our District connected and inclusive. Thank you, Chris, for leading the way!
