Most of us are not public speakers and don’t look forward to talking in front of groups. Remember that this is a very friendly audience whose only purpose for being here is to learn about your group! Keep in mind that no one is expecting you to be able to answer every question about the nonprofit you nominate, but come prepared to describe what the organization is all about, what kind of impact it makes on the community, who it serves and how it will use the money. You may want to speak with a staff or board member to let them know you will be nominating their nonprofit and ask if there are any special points you should make on their behalf. The women in our group are here to learn more about the nonprofit you are nominating and may not be aware of the great work it does.
