A strong Speaker’s Program plays an important role in keeping Rotary clubs healthy and vibrant. Strong programs help keep members engaged.
Put another way, programs with insight, information, entertainment or other relevant content give members another reason to look forward to each meeting.
But, exceptional
programs don’t just happen. They require careful thought and planning.
I am
very fortunate. My club, the Calgary West Rotary Club, has a decades long reputation
for great programs. I have served on our program committee as a member or as the Chair
for more than 12 years.
While
I am mostly leaning on that experience to write this series, I also include insight gained as the
Executive Director of a community based organization that staged 4-6 Gospel concerts
per year. They were produced in a 1,200 seat church or in one of our city's two major concert halls that sat 2,200 and 2,700.
