My Ideal Person
There's one good thing about being the speaker. There's one chore you will not have to be responsible for. Someone else will introduce you. The speaker's job may be the easier one. Introducing a speaker to an audience may not seem difficult, but there is more to the task than meets the eye.

Just as you want two friends you introduce at a party to feel friendly toward one another, the speech of introduction should create among audience members a friendly desire to listen to the person you are introducing. In essence, your goal is to "sell" that individual to the audience. A good speech of introduction will ease the task confronting the main speaker by setting up the theme of the speech. But don't steal his or her thunder. Make sure you know how to pronounce the speaker's name.
