Join NOW! It’s a sign we often see on in newspapers and notice boards at this time of the year. Whether we join soccer or a bridge club it’s certain that that association will have a committee.
You may be one of that rare species who actually want to be a committee member. You might have a burning desire to do something about the club or association and the way it is run. If so you might need club/association committee election campaign candidates’ speeches.
Most of us prefer not to have to do the work involved in running a club. If, however, we find ourselves as the President or Chair we may  find that we have to give occasional speeches.
Maybe we would have to give a womans’/ladies club incoming/inaugural address by the President. We might have to speak at a fundraising function. It could happen that we would have to give a vote of thanks to an outgoing President/Chair of a social/charitable club/association. We might simply have to give a speech at the club/association’s Christmas party.
Whatever the speech it should reflect on the ethos of the association and be gracious in tone. You are, after all, representing the members and they will expect that you speak with conviction, passion and, most importantly of all, according to club protocol.
