Where to start?
We recommend that you start by attending a regional event and getting to know the Regional President and their members. We currently have 12 13 regions throughout the UK and Ireland one of which is virtual, and you are welcome to attend as many as you like(, in any region). They all have an individual vibe, but (They are all individual, but) all focus on helping our members to speak more and speak better. They are a great place for you to network with other professional speakers.
You can also attend a FREE New Member Day to meet other new members and see how to get the best from the PSA.
