Speaker Selection Guidelines

• The goal of speaker selection is to provide our membership with topics that provide the most meaningful information available
• Select only speakers that you have personally heard speak. Is the topic relevant?
• Refrain from selecting speakers "as a favor to someone" (eg. so and so asked if he could speak to our club - warning flag!) 
• Political topics are not allowed
• Personal interest promotion topics not permitted (eg. New doctor in town promoting his new practice)
• Notify Club Program Chairman of speaker information three weeks in advance of planned date
• If in doubt, check with the Club Program Chairman

Additional Guidelines

• Speaker should limit speaking time to 15 minutes
• We can provide an LCD projector for PowerPoint, CD or DVD along with a large screen. Please bring your own laptop computer to connect and play your media. Please advice Bill Rogers (brogers42tn@comcast.net) no later than the day before a meeting in order to have the equipment setup and ready.
• Meeting ends at 8:30 promptly - no exceptions
