NSWIB Speakers Guidelines

NSWIB strives to provide programs that meet membership needs. All programming is intended to address the professional development of our members. To identify programs and topics of interest, the Program Committee's goal is to distribute an annual survey to members. Survey responses provide the guidelines for special event planning and topic selection for the following year.

Based upon identified membership needs, the program committee selects speakers with demonstrated expertise in the topic area and skill in disseminating information clearly and concisely. Previous experience in public speaking is strongly recommended, but not required.

Potential speakers may come from both inside and outside NSWIB. However, preference is not given to members. Speakers are not present to sell their services but rather to share knowledge and experience with NSWIB members and guests. Self-promotion is permitted during the networking portion of our program and after our event. Promotional material may be placed on the dining tables. Speakers are also permitted to sell their products at the conclusion of the meeting. Speakers are not paid for their presentations or expenses. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the committee chair.
