BounceBack Kids Announces New Speakers Panel

BounceBack Kids is pleased to announce a new opportunity for you to extend your support. Join our Speakers Panel and help spread the word about BounceBack Kids.

What is the Speakers Panel?
The Speakers Panel is comprised of interested individuals who represent BounceBack kids. Speakers can be community volunteers, students, interns, parents or anyone who has an interest in what we do. Speakers go into the community and talk to groups of people about BounceBack Kids.

How does the Speakers Panel work?
Dates of speaking engagements will be emailed on a periodic basis to the panel. The time, place, event, contact person and a description will be included. Panel members RSVP to sign up for a particular date.

What do we speak about?
The main goal of the Speakers Panel is to spread the word and educate the community and families with children with serious medical illness about BounceBack Kids. Panel members will be given Talking Points which will guide them on key program features to talk about. Talks and presentations range in length from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.

What will my time commitment be?
You can sign up for one event or many. There are no other time requirements.

When and where are speaking events?
Speaking events take place in various towns and cities in the Triangle and surrounding counties. Most are at meetings held by PTA’s, schools, churches and community organizations. Most are held during weekday evenings, but some are during the workday and weekend.

Besides the Talking Points, what am I responsible for at each event?
You are speaking on behalf of BounceBack Kids. It is your responsibility to be knowledgeable about our history, programs and services (all of this will be provided to you). You will also be given fliers and brochures and other promotional items to distribute at your event.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Speakers Panel, or are interested in signing up, please respond to Megan, Outreach Coordinator, and you’ll be added to the email list.
