Make sure your introduction answers the questions, “Why this speaker?”
Be upbeat!
Share something personal about the speaker.
Don’t steal the speaker’s thunder or material.
Don’t say, “Our speaker needs no introduction.”
If you are going to use humor, clear it with the speaker first.
“"Dr. Lehr did a fantastic job zeroing in on profits for the farmer. The presentation focused on key points that producers could immediately take home and implement to improve the bottom line on their farm. The response from the attendees was great."”
