Are you interested in …
- Speaking outside of your Club setting?
- Speaking before a non Toastmaster audience?
- Giving longer, perhaps more sophisticated,
speeches of your choice before an audience?
- Representing District 73 in your schools,
businesses and community?
Then, you need to join the District 73 Speakers
Bureau!
What is the Speakers Bureau?
Members join a Toastmasters Speakers
Bureau to turn their presentation skills into
a showcase opportunity or to gain even more public
speaking experience. The Speakers
Bureau acts as a resource, helping organisations
and individuals make contact with talented speakers
who can fulfill their needs.
What are the membership requirements?
The District 73 Speakers
Bureau is open to all District 73 Toastmasters
in good standing and who have achieved a minimum
ATM B status. If you are comfortable speaking
in your Club and are ready for the next challenge
– the Speakers
Bureau is for you! Simply fill in the Speakers
Bureau Application form and return it to us.
If you don’t meet the minimum requirement
and you feel you ought to still be considered
please tell us why in the Speakers
Bureau Application form.
Web page registration
Eligible Toastmasters are invited to complete
the Speakers
Bureau Application form and submit it to the
Speakers
Bureau Coordinator. Your application will
be reviewed and you will be notified soon after.
The Speakers
Bureau will feature an Index of Speakers including
your portrait picture alongside a short descriptor.
Within the descriptor will be a highlighted link
to your personal biography including your contact
details and web site, if you have one. It would
be appropriate to make this page user friendly
by describing what you are prepared to do, experience,
testimonials, preferred presentation themes and
so on. This is the page an enquirer will judge
your suitability.
In the near future there will be the capacity
to incorporate a linked oral recording allowing
the enquirer to actually hear you speak.
If, at some later stage, your circumstances change
you can amend your published details by contacting
the Speakers
Bureau Coordinator.
Engagements
It is the intention of District 73 to act only
as a facilitator of speaking engagements. All
communications will necessarily be between the
client and the speaker. On occasion an enquirer
will contact the Speakers Bureau Coordinator who
will then advise the enquirer of the options most
suited to their circumstances.
You should read the Policies
and Procedures document of the District 73
Speaker Bureau.
As the client is the final decision maker on
who they wish to speak at their function District
73 cannot promise to find Speakers Bureau engagements
for everyone. Conversely, you will not be expected
to accept more engagements than you feel comfortable
with.
This really is a great opportunity to put your
professional stamp as a speaker to the World!
If you have any questions please email the Speakers
Bureau Coordinator or phone 0419 378 462.
