Speakers Chair Responsibilities
- Immediately after the previous conference, the speakers chair should
start compiling a list of potential keynote speaker and banquet speaker.
An email should go to all committee members and board members requesting
nominations.
Each person nominating should be requested to give a brief bio
sketch of the person nominated.
- Speakers chair collects all the nominations (one list for keynote and
one for banquet) and forwards the info to the cmte and the board
and requests ranking of each list.
- Compiles the results and creates a final ranked list by June 1 and starts contacting speakers.
- We've increased the honorarium from $100 to $300.
The speaker will also get a free hotel room (Friday night) and
should know that all the meals will be covered at the conference
(banquet, lunch, breakfast).
The registration will also be waived.
We've tried to invite good local speakers to keep the costs
down.
