SPEAKERS BUREAU E-NEWSLETTER: SEPTEMBER 25, 2007

Welcome ___________, to the second edition of the 2007 Speakers Bureau e-newsletter, published weekly during the campaign season.

We’re very grateful for the response we’ve had to our invitation to participate in Speakers Bureau. Thank you to each of the 101 people who have registered as speakers this year. Together, we’ll make 2007 a great campaign season!

Those speakers who did not attend training should have received a packet in the mail, which included a guide to speaker scheduling, a handbook for crafting an effective presentation, and helpful hints. If you need a training packet but did not receive one, please call 428-2235. The information is also available in the Speakers Bureau section of our website.

Tip of the week—tell us the best way to reach you
Even though we do our best to avoid last-minute schedule changes, unfortunately, cancellations and time changes do happen—sometimes with very little notice. Having the right contact information for the time of day your meeting is scheduled (especially after-work contact info) allows us to reach you as soon as we know there will be a change. We sincerely appreciate your flexibility and graciousness when these changes occur.

Hero of the week—the “Most Birds with One Stone Award”
This week, we’d like to recognize Oscar Vergara from P.E.A.C.E., Inc.’s Big Brothers/Big Sisters. During one single phone call from Kelly, Oscar agreed to do seven presentations at different locations! Oscar, your generosity with your time and your dedication is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
