Members who are selected will learn about the process of preparing for a webinar, best practices while speaking, overcoming the fear of speaking, and how to work with a group to present a program. The program included the following three-step process: 

1. One-hour introduction/training presentation
2. Members will be broken into groups of four, where they will decide on a topic and work together to create a cohesive presentation with guidance
