Please note:  The Toastmasters registered with this speakers bureau offer competent and professional quality speeches. They do this to help attract new members to Toastmasters; to complete requirements for advancement in Toastmasters; and for the joy of speaking in public.

 

By Toastmasters International Rules, our speakers can not charge for speeches that are arranged for them through the Division H Speakers Bureau.  However, that does not preclude them from accepting  any honourarium or being compensated for reasonable travel expenses.  We leave these arrangements entirely to you and the Toastmaster.

 

Once you have returned this form to the Speakers Bureau Co-ordinator, your request will be acknowledged within three working days.  If a speaker is available who meets your requirements, they will contact you directly.  If you do not hear from your speaker, or if you have any questions, contact the Speakers Bureau Co-ordinator immediately by calling  (853) 881-073.

 

So, tell us how can we serve you:

Division H Speaker's Bureau

 

Are You Ready For The Next Step In Your Toastmaster Experience?

 

Someday, someone outside of Toastmasters is going to ask you if you would be willing to give a speech. That day could be today. If you are an experienced Toastmaster who has attained their CTM or who has had professional speaking experience, you are eligible to register with the Division H Speakers Bureau.

 

The Speakers Bureau is open to all Division H Toastmasters who have attained CTM or above.  If you're comfortable speaking in your club and are ready for the next challenge, the Speaker's Bureau is for you!  

 

Mission of the Speakers Bureau

 

§         Market Toastmaster Speakers

§         Educate through public speaking

§         Promote Toastmasters as a public service opportunity available to all  

 

Here's how it works: Fill out a speaker's registration form (available from this year's speakers bureau co-ordinator Herbert Lee ; Phone/ Fax 853-881-073, Email: herbert@idea4u.com) and return it to the co-ordinator. The speakers bureau co-ordinator will keep your registration on file.

 

We are currently spreading the word that Division H's speakers bureau is open for business and requests are coming in!

 

Fast Start: To get our Speaker’s Bureau off to a fast start, we have two “levels” of participation:

 

1. Level one – speakers are given a prepared speech (similar to Better Speaker Series or  Successful Club Series). You can modify and adapt the presentation to your taste if you like – however, the basic message is to help promote Division H. Level One speakers can expect some specialized training and may be asked to be evaluated before giving their first presentation in public. Level One allows more people to participate in the Speaker’s Bureau – it’s a great way to see if speaking in public is for you!

 

2. Level two – speakers have at least two presentations of a high quality level ready to present. The Speaker’s Bureau acts as a clearing house and finds suitable occasions where speakers have the opportunity to speak to the general public. Some specialized training will be given to level two speakers.

 

Other speaking opportunities such as emcee, keynotes, workshops, etc will become available as the Speaker’s Bureau reputation becomes more widely known.

 

You may choose to apply for either or both levels of participation. To insure the overall quality of the Speaker’s Bureau, you will be screened by a committee to determine your suitability. Members of the Speaker’s Bureau will be listed on an annual basis and subject to annual review.

 

Please be advised that all speaking engagements arranged by the district speakers bureau are offered as a service of Toastmasters International and no payment, aside from expenses or a small honorarium, can be accepted.

 

Speakers Availability

 

As customers are the final decision makers about whom they wish to have come and represent the Speakers Bureau, we cannot promise to find speaking engagements for everyone.

 

Anyone wishing to register for the speakers bureau should have at least one speech ready to go (Two would be better). The co-ordinator will attempt to offer you speaking opportunities which most closely match your skills and experience.

 

Other Toastmaster districts and divisions are currently running very active speakers bureaus. Our division is gathering speed and we expect to get busier as we continue to offer professional, entertaining and competent speakers to other groups and organizations which request them.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Herbert Lee, the speakers bureau co-ordinator for more information.
