Guest Speaker Chair

PROBUS speaker procedures

Three person committee.

• Appoint one person to take notes and create a calendar of speakers.

• We meet once per month and throw out ideas for speakers and report back at next meeting successes and failures.

• Read local newspapers to find potential speakers.

• Keep your ears open for potential candidates. If they agree to speak find out the topic so we do not duplicate other speakers/topics.

• Let the speaker know what months are available and slot them into the schedule.

• One month prior to their scheduled speech contact them to remind and find out if they need A/V. If so give them the contact information of our A/V person.

• At the meeting one of the committee members will introduce. After their speech invite them to lunch.
