Ripple Call For Speakers
Call for Speakers: Share Your Service Story
We are looking for individuals with a powerful, meaningful story about how a service experience resulted in something entirely unexpected.
Our goal is to select 8 to 10 speakers to give a 10-minute, TED-style talk about their background and the "ripple effect" they experienced. We welcome speakers of all ages and backgrounds. You do not need to be a Rotarian to apply. Candidates simply need to be comfortable speaking to a crowd—you don't have to be a polished public speaker, as we will provide coaching!
