Global Speakers Federation’s Post

The Global Speakers Federation (#GSF) understands the value of this interconnected network, and as an association leader, you have the chance to benefit from it greatly. The community within GSF extends beyond borders and boundaries. It's a place that unites speakers associations worldwide, providing a space to connect, collaborate, and co-create. When your association becomes a part of GSF, you join a global community where ideas flow, best practices are shared generously, and opportunities for growth abound. Imagine the wealth of knowledge at your fingertips. GSF enables members to exchange ideas and insights, offering a wellspring of inspiration for your association's growth and development. Best practices are no longer confined to your region; they are now accessible from speakers associations across the globe. But the GSF community isn't just about information exchange; it's also a hub for building meaningful partnerships and seizing new opportunities. Whether it's forging alliances with international associations or collaborating on impactful projects, GSF opens doors to endless possibilities. So, are you ready to cultivate a thriving community within your #speakerassociation? Connect with GSF to explore the benefits of community, where the world's leading associations converge to share, learn, and grow together. 🤝💡🌍 #GSFBenefits #GlobalCommunity #ProfessionalSpeaking #ExchangeIdeas #AssociationLeadership #CollaborationOpportunities #VoiceOfGSF #GlobalSpeakers #globalspeakersfederation #gsf #associationleaders #speakersassociation #speakersassociation #speakersunite

Membership in the Global Speakers Federation (#GSF) is limited to speakers associations and does not extend to individual speakers. This means that individuals cannot become members of the Global Speakers Federation directly, yet your local association can. However, even as an individual speaker, you can benefit substantially when your local association is part of the GSF. You can gain access to worldwide initiatives, events, and projects. You can also attend speaker association conferences and events around the world at member prices and enjoy dual membership discounts, paying only 50% of the membership costs at other associations (based on qualification criteria) outside your home association, among many other advantages. #ProfessionalSpeakers #AssociationMembership #GlobalInitiatives #NetworkingOpportunities #VoiceOfGSF #GlobalSpeakersFederation #SpeakersAssociation

Another initiative of new president Roger is revitalising our Club and increasing membership. It's no secret Rotary clubs around the world have struggled to retain members and attract new members. Terms of reference are: - To explore options that will revitalise membership of our Club. - To make recommendations to the RCW Board on the preferred pathway for the Club. - Report to Board by mid-September 2024. The first meeting of the group was yesterday (Tuesday). As part of kicking off the meeting, President Roger asked each member to say in five minutes what they think are the primary causes of declining membership, and what they think are the best opportunities to revitalise membership. A conversation about revitalising our Club also took place at the June 24 lunch meeting. Among the takeaways include: - Spreading good news stories about what our club is doing. - Inviting our club members to be speakers to learn about their expertise. - Instead of fellowship time - create ways to learn more about each other's experience & skills. - Involve other clubs in our project and our social events. It's a big project, but it's good to get the ball rolling. Stay tuned for more - and if you'd like to help, let us know! A great start too is joining our Club if you're not a member already! 😁
