[NFBofSC] 🎙️Think You Have What It Takes? Step Up to the Mic!

[ms. j.l. bright]

Dear NFB Family,

Let's be honest...

Most people don't become confident speakers by thinking about public speaking.

They become confident speakers by DOING it.

That's why SCOBBL — a division of NFB of SC — is inviting you to participate in our 2026 Public Speaking Showcase during the NFB of SC State Convention, August 13–16, 2026.

This is your opportunity to challenge yourself, sharpen your communication skills, and speak before one of the friendliest and most supportive audiences you'll ever find.

No professional speaking experience required.

No perfectly polished speech required.

No fearlessness required. (Trust us, we're still working on that one too! 😄)

What IS required? A willingness to learn, grow, and step outside your comfort zone.

Whether you've attended all of our Public Speaking Series sessions, only one session, or none at all, the Showcase is a fun and encouraging opportunity to practice your skills and build confidence.

Every great speaker starts somewhere. Why not let your "somewhere" be this year's SCOBBL Public Speaking Showcase?

Interested in participating? Contact me by phone or email, or reach out to any member of the SCOBBL Board:

🔹 Melinda Jones, First Vice President
🔹 Wendell Price, Second Vice President
🔹 Shannon Cook, Secretary/Treasurer
🔹 Michelle Scott, Board Member At-Large

Your voice matters.

Your perspective matters.

And this is your opportunity to be heard.
