He&#8217;s a little nervous because his event is in November and isn&#8217;t sure that he&#8217;ll be able to find the right person with enough time to properly plan for a great event.</p>
<p>This fall dinner is a formal fund-raising event that is well-attended (1000 or so) by pillars in the community. Attendees support strengthening marriage, regardless of religious or political ties.</p>
<p>Past keynotes have included Bill Bennett, Gen. Tommy Franks, and Jack Kemp. While the lineup may look a bit conservative, this is a non-partisan organization.</p>
<p>This year they are looking for another well-known speaker or musician for their November 08, 2008 Fall Dinner. The speaker&#8217;s message must speak to marriage. It can be a talk on overcoming, on balancing career, kids and marriage; the importance of marriage, etc.; <strong>references and recognition will be a determining factor. </strong></p>
<p>The organization will also be considering a speaker for their Fall October 10, 2009 dinner with the same requirements listed above.</p>
<p class="style4"><strong><span class="style2">Here&#8217;s some more basic information:</span><br />
<em><br />
Location: </em><span class="style6">Bellevue, WA</span><em><br />
Date of Event: </em></strong>November 8, 2008<br />
<strong><em>Response Deadline: </em></strong>June 3, 2008<br />
<strong><em>Number of Speakers Needed: </em></strong>1<strong><em><br />
Approximate Audience Size: </em></strong>1000<strong><em><br />
Speaking Fee: </em></strong>Up to $12,500 depending on qualifications<strong><em><br />

<p class="style5">As you probably know, <a href="http://www.marketerschoice.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=48419"><span style="color: #810081;">SpeakerMatch</span></a> is among the fastest, easiest way to find available speaking opportunities. Unlike other services that give you information about upcoming EVENTS, they only provide you with listings of organizers who are actively seeking speakers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>For those who choose to leave the title &#8220;Former Speaker&#8221; to other people&#8230;the ones who fail to take action!</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s stunning how many passionate new speakers find themselves confused, frustrated and sometimes flat broke after trying to build a successful speaking business.</p>
<p>The statistics are alarming. Most outsiders would be shocked to learn how difficult the first two to three years are for many professional speakers trying to build a solid, profitable and sustainable speaking business. <em>One expert estimates that 31 out of every 32 people who try to launch a speaking career fail within the first year</em>.</p>
<h3>Enough about the doom and gloom already. We have loads of that heaped on us by the daily news. You don&#8217;t have to join the ranks of the also-rans, the &#8220;Former Speakers&#8221;</h3>

<p class="style25">In addition, based on what our three bootcamp, speaking commandos collectively charge per day to consult you’d be set back another $15,000 at the bare minimum. I’m frankly stunned at how much they’ll reveal at this special event and more importantly at a price and time frame that makes it affordable, frankly a steal, for you to attend.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re a speaker, I highly recommend checking out this limited-seating event!</p>
<p>Live long, love life and be well.</p>
<p>Harold Brown</p>
<p>P.S. June 20-22 in Chicago could be a career-changing, life-altering event. Especially for those professional speakers who refuse to take part in the so-called recession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve just started updating the program that runs our Speaker Directory.  The directory itself has been updated and now we&#8217;re going through all of the many functions that help provide a better visit to those who use our directory.</p>
<p>Speakers can now add their indivitual web sites and other information about their specialties and topics.  We add speakers to the site on an ongoing basis.</p>
<p>You can search the directory by using the second search box in the left column (the one with the word &#8220;Advanced&#8221; under the search function)</p>
<p>COMING SOON&#8230;Speaker Videos</p>
<p>We&#8217;re now adding a new feature that will allow speakers to upload videos to our site.  Given the explosion of streaming video in recent months we think this will be a welcome addition for speakers because it will give them yet another exposure to their services. </p>
<p>Come back and visit often as changes are always in the works.</p>
