Guest Speaker Program

The following guidelines are provided to assist Speakers with their Presentation

  • We respond positively to speakers who present a topic of informational, educational, motivational, or entertainment value that will be of general interest to all club members.
  • Programs are a maximum of 20 minutes to allow for a Q&A period.
  • Presentations should be non-political and non-sectarian. Elected officials may be allowed to speak to our club when the format is simply to report to constituents on congressional or legislative affairs.
  • Presenters MAY NOT SOLICIT a financial or in-kind donation or request purchase of products or services. It is okay for you to talk about your business/organization and its services. It is NOT okay to make a “sales pitch” or directly solicit purchases or donations. You are more than welcome to invite interested members to stay after the meeting to talk with you.
  • Handouts for club members and guests must be confined to the entry table.
  • Using the Rotary platform to dispense individual financial advice is prohibited.
  • We urge speakers to tailor their presentations with minimal emphasis on PowerPoint sequences
