Video Conferencing

Introduction of Video Conferencing for use for Officer training, Advanced Club Meetings, and anything else cool we can think of.

Have any of you used this technology?

So were, by the way, every major service related organization, Lion's, Kiwanis, etc. That turned around when the DCP was brought in, meaning that it works.

Audience? Credibility or Position? or Delivery?

Would MLK's "I Have a Dream" be as good a speech if it was delivered by Bob Jones, middle class white guy, to a small group of people in Minnesota?

George Bush has the Position, and the built in Audience, but does his Delivery diminish his impact? Was Clinton's great Delivery hindered by his failing Credibility in the wake of Lewinsky?
