President’s Message
Dianne McCoyPresident, CAPS MB
As the 2015 President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) Manitoba Chapter, I am pleased to invite you to get to know us by way of this brochure which is a listing of our upcoming events with our guest speakers. We are extending an invitation to you to join us at one of these events as our guest to learn more about how we can serve you and your needs.
As you know today, access to the very best knowledge is critical to success. If you’re a corporation, organization, or an association searching for the competitive edge, look no further. The Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) members are
experts who speak. They provide in-depth information and highly targeted content to specific needs, delivered in a compelling manner.
These are the premier speakers in Canada: keynote speakers, facilitators, coaches, and trainers. Many are internationally renowned, and have been certified by the National Speakers Association (NSA), as Certified Speaking Professionals (CSP). NSA is the world’s largest and most respected association of professional speakers.
From inspirational to highly practical to business and leadership – count on CAPS to provide the highest value – the edge you need to succeed and the depth of knowledge to give you a winning advantage in business or a whole new “take” on life.
We look forward to the opportunity to meet you in the near future.
Kind Regards,
Dianne McCoy, MA, PCC
