Betty Ortiz-Valdes, DTM is a native of Miami Florida. She attended Miami Central High School and graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Florida International University.
Betty was employed by Miami Dade County for 30 years at Miami International Airport. As a special projects administrator, she managed airport commercial operations. Betty was a certified fraud examiner, a credential that enabled her to implement antifraud measures within airport commercial operations. Betty retired in 2014 and founded America Business and Management Services, a consulting firm specializing in government contract management for airports.
Betty joined Toastmasters International in 2016 to strengthen her public speaking and presentation abilities, aiming to communicate more clearly and confidently with clients —essential skills she believed would help her market her business more successfully. She is currently a member of four clubs: West Kendall Toastmasters, Miami Advanced Toastmasters, Miami Business Speakers Toastmasters, and the Landing. She has held club officer and district roles where she mentored and empowered members to take on leadership positions.
Betty decided to dedicate this year to mentoring area directors, preparing them for success as future district leaders.
Betty has begun to lead the district’s mission to Tune in to D47 Vision: Envision, Empower and Exemplify. By working together to strengthen club excellence, and elevate member experience, we can empower every member to achieve their best and exemplify the D47 Vision.
“We learn best in the moments of enjoyment.”

Founder of Toastmasters International
