Finding a Presenter for an Education Program

Presenters can be found from personal contacts, STC members volunteering to give a presentation, referrals by Administrative Council Members, or other local STC chapters.

  1. Get contact information for potential presenters.
  2. If you have exhausted your personal contacts, STC members, and referrals, check the web sites of the other local STC chapters (North Bay, San Francisco, Berkeley, East Bay) for past and future presenters of interest.
    • If you find presenters of interest, search the chapter web site for the program manager's contact information and email the program manager for the presenters' contact information.
  3. Contact potential presenters and ask them if they are interested in presenting at the next program. It is recommended that you line up presenters for the next couple of programs, in case an upcoming presenter cancels.
  4. If a presenter is interested, relay the following information to them concerning a presentation:
    • Education programs are scheduled depending on the timeliness of the topic and the availability of education resources.
    • Presenters should arrive no later than 30 minutes before the start of the program to ensure that the audiovisual equipment is working correctly.
    • The length of a presentation depends on the time required for the topic.
  5. Ask the presenter to email you a brief biography and a paragraph or two on the subject matter to be presented and how it is relevant to STC members.
  6. After you receive the information from the presenter, copyedit as required and email it to the Web Manager for posting and to the PR Manager for distribution on the chapter LinkedIn group.
