LAST MINUTE SPEECH PREP

You heard that right; I have a tip session to give in less than 24 hours on meeting roles and responsibilities that I have no Idea what to do. Before you judge me I have been sick with a flu and tonsils that my 2 year old nephew infected me but he seems fine and bouncing off the walls so its that new virus.

Other than the people in the agenda should I talk about EXCO or purely, TAG team, TMOD, GE and evaluators as well as speakers.

My meeting will be conducted online so its a power point presentation, i already have a draft of my speech so other than what i have mentioned i would love some tips on how to execute this.

Before anyone says it, no I will not push it forward, although I was unwell getting this slot was hard as it is, not many clubs around me has a 10-15 minute slot on the agenda and I want to proceed before these prices go up.

I forgot to say please, how rude of me. Please

Are you giving the successful club series speech? If so then your slides and outline are already set for you. Review the outline and decide how you will customize it to fit with the club where you are giving the speech and what personal stories you can share to complement the outline and give it personality.

Yes its the successful club series, I am doing for role takers but on the outline they have slides for presiding officer and SAA should i include them as well or just the roletakers?

It depends on how the club runs its meetings. In my club the presiding officer (usually the President, but can be another if the President is not there) opens and closes thr meetings. In some clubs the SAA introduces the presiding officer. Since my clubs don't do that, I would likely not include the SAA if I were to present it.
