Pre Program Questions

Public Speaking:
PRE-PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE

These questions are designed to help my staff and I prepare a program specifically suited to the needs of your group. Please take a moment to answer all the questions fully and return the form to my office. We have already answered some of the questions based on our initial conversation. Please double check these answers and make additions and corrections.

We would also appreciate receiving any printed information on your group that may help us with background information (e.g., corporate reports, news items, in-house publications, products, services, employees, etc.). Thank you for your help!
