Speaker Seeker Manual

Ideas for finding speakers:

• People who have spoken at other Rotary or Probus Clubs, eg:
  • https://rotaryperth.org.au/events/
  • https://probusperthwa.com/recent-speakers/
  • Bulletins of other Rotary clubs
  • Find club websites at https://rotarydistrict9455.org/clubdirectory
• District leaders, to learn about district projects and initiatives
• Members – can speak about their work / something interesting about their life
• Project partners – people whose projects we support, or are thinking about supporting
• Recipients of our sponsorship / awards
• Ask members for recommendations
• Check the monthly Rotary themes and consider who in the local area might be able to speak on that theme

Organising a speaker

• Find a suitable date; add to calendar
• Send confirmation email with details of venue and AV, and confirming topic
• Send a reminder up email day a couple of days before the meeting
• Greet (/organise greeter) at meeting
• Send thank you email after meeting
