As an advocacy organization, one of the most important things SURJ can
do is advance the dialogue for change by sharing our message with groups
across the state. We are advocating for reform by carefully
examining the issues, proposing alternatives, and informing our members
and the public on the need for reform. We are convinced that with
study and a healthy dialogue, knowledge will replace fear, and we will
be able to improve the lives of countless Delawareans. Purpose of
the Speakers Bureau:
- Stimulate audience members to think about the issues and the
alternatives being advocated by SURJ
- Build recognition for SURJ as a responsible leadership organization
- Enlist new members
The Audience:
We welcome speaking opportunities from a wide
range of Delaware organizations, including:
- Social
organizations
- Service organizations
-
Faith community groups
- Other citizen groups interested
in the well being of our State Members of the Speakers Bureau will be
sent a Speakers Bureau notebook containing everything necessary for a
successful presentation, including some general instructions, a prepared
speech, overhead transparencies, a list of frequently asked question,
brochures and new member cards. The speech itself has been drafted to
reflect our mission, goals and values. It also presents SURJ's
2003 Agenda and informs listeners about how they can become members.
The content has been approved by the SURJ Board of Directors, our
policy-making body. You will need to consider adjustments to fit
your speaking style, the time available, and the particular interest of
you audience. The speech is intended to run about fifteen minutes.
