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

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.
