Basics of Writing and Giving a Speech

Mar. 19-20, 2012

Offered by Joan Detz Speechwriting

Philadelphia, PA

Joan Detz is offering NAGC members a savings of $300 on her 2012 “Basics of Writing & Giving A Speech.” Pay $695, instead of the standard $995 tuition. Payment is due by Feb. 20, 2012, to take advantage of this special tuition rate. NAGC is the only national professional organization to be offered this rate.

Have you ever wondered how your organization’s speeches measure up? Are you tired of working “the late shift” to do more re-writes? Do you suspect your whole speechwriting team could be doing better? Do you have a nagging suspicion that it takes you way too long to write a speech? If you polished your skills, could you moonlight with freelance speechwriting assignments? Learn how to:

  • Adapt your speechwriting style when new leadership arrives
  • Make every second count when you have limited access to your speakers
  • Cut your research time (Time is money. When you control your speechwriting process, you maximize your budget.)
  • Connect with diverse audiences
  • Create value (and build your career!) by getting media attention for your speeches

Keep in mind: This small-group seminar gives you two full days of intensive training. You’ll walk out with a solid speechwriting foundation that will bring real value to your organization. Please feel welcome to email anytime with questions: jdetz@joandetz.com. As an NAGC member, I’ll be very glad to help. I hope to see you Mon-Tues March 19-20 in Philadelphia!

All the best,
Joan
