  3. Present in front of our evaluators. You must receive 80% or more from our evaluators

Emerging Speakers

An emerging speaker means you need a bit more training before going to speak in the community. We have webinars in place to help our emerging speakers achieve this goal. Emerging speakers have opportunities to speak within the district and test speakers for contests, be guest speakers at open houses, and the like.

Qualified Speakers

Being a qualified speaker means you are ready to speak in the community-at-large on your presentation topic. Your profile goes on our searchable professional speakers directory for our area’s event planners and their various events.
