Operating Procedures
Some simple standard procedures will help ensure requests are met successfully and in a timely manner.
1. The Speaker Coordinator will respond immediately to requests letting them know that we are working to fill the request and get any other needed information.
Depending on the topic they request, the Speaker Coordinator will send an email to that specific bank of speakers, cc’ing all of the speaker’s bureau so that a shadow can also volunteer, providing the date, group, time, etc. Whoever is available or would like to fulfill the request, can then reply all, so everyone is aware of who will be speaking.
2. We will always try and have a Speaker and a Shadow – if the request can not be accommodated, the Speaker Coordinator will go back to the requesting organization and see if they have any alternative dates.
3. All events will scheduled on The Public Affairs Outlook Calendar – which everyone will have viewing access to.
4. Speaking events can vary depending on the circumstances. We will have briefs available on each topic, which will be maintained on the Global. Each brief can be tailored to the event and/or specific information. The Speaker Coordinator will let the speakers know if the organization specifically requested a PowerPoint, or if it is up to you, and will maintain a thumbdrive to be used for the events.
5. After speaking events, the Speaker Coordinator will email the requesting organization for feedback, as well as from the Speaker/Shadow. Feedback from the organization will be provided to you, and your feedback will be entered in a spreadsheet, so we can maintain information on the events/groups for future use.
