SPEAKER - ANYONE?

From time to time, the District office is contacted by clubs looking for speakers.  However, supporting a quickly becoming obsolete speakers bureau can be challenging.  We recommend any of our District Directors for speakers on Foundation, Membership, Youth Services, Service Projects, Public Image or Training.  If the directors are unavailable, they will find someone to come to speak to your club about any of these key Rotary avenues of service.  However, if you are a great speaker on a topic you have personal, in depth knowledge of and training in, and are willing to travel to clubs to be a guest speaker, please let the newsletter editor, Pene Hutton, know and she will include your contact information and the topic you speak on in one of our upcoming newsletters.  As an example, Valerie Bailey - Phillips recently contacted the editor and offered her speaking services, as follows:
  • Club Best Practices (she is taking over from DGN Marlee and would like to share the wealth of information in it with clubs as well as receiving information for the manual) 
  • National Immunization Days (she has been on 3) and has offered to speak on what the experience is like
  • ShelterBox (she is a ShelterBox Ambassador) and has offered to speak on updates from Nepal and other places of deployment
  • Gift of Life program (she is currently Vice Chair, taking over from PDG John Rydzik next year)
