District 42 Spring Conference
|
|
An Educational Presentation Opportunity Awaits!!
|
Fellow Toastmasters, the Spring Conference could be your opportunity to show off both your verbal and visual communication skills. For the very first time at a District 42 Conference there will be Poster Sessions. In order for the sessions to be successful we need you!
Poster Sessions are posters that may include drawings, photographs, charts, graphs, and textual data related to a specific subject. Toastmasters will visit your Poster Session at a set time to view your information and ask questions about your display. (An example of a Poster Session topic may be “Five Ways to Engage your Club Membership”). Follow
this link
to a Microsoft template to help understand a Poster layout.
We are looking for volunteers to create/present a Poster Session on a topic related to either leadership or communication. Does this opportunity interest you? Do you want to be a part of our first ever poster session?
If the answer is yes, please send your topic, along with a short outline to
aschmidt@d42tm.org
by February 28th, 2019.
Entries will be evaluated and members will be contacted by the middle of March.
