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:

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.
