Contributing to a House of Delegates Discussion
In the hopes of an efficient and productive meeting!
Once the previous speaker has finished and you have been acknowledged by the General Chairman…
Stand up, introduce yourself, and state the name of the swim club you are representing. Speak clearly and concisely. Stay on subject and avoid personal attacks. State your motion or idea affirmatively:“I feel that we should…,” rather than “I feel that we should not…”.
Most importantly:Be certain that you have a thorough understanding of the topic at hand before speaking, in order to avoid erroneous discussion!
