Leveraging Community Support for Speech and Debate
Presenter: Trey Smith, East Mountain High School, NM
By identifying partners outside the world of education, we can find supporters willing to help with some of our activity’s biggest challenges. Not only can we identify potential funding sources, we can raise awareness of our activity. Potential community partners include legislatures, universities, visitors bureaus, media, and local businesses. In a round table discussion, participants will identify potential community partners; create strategies for implementation; and establish goals for the upcoming year.
