POWER''talk'' International is the operating name used by International Training in Communication (ITC), a non-profit organization of public-speaking clubs. There are currently POWER''talk'' clubs in Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, Greece, Iceland, Japan, Malawi, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom and the USA. ==Structure== POWER''talk'' International is governed by a board of directors elected by the membership.The operation of POWER''talk'' International is authorised by membership decision, as expressed in biennial convention action by accredited delegates from clubs in good standing. The 2013 convention was held in Honolulu, Hawaii.〔http://convention2013.blogspot.co.uk/〕 The next convention will be held in Rotorua, New Zealand in 2015. For administrative purposes there are four international divisions each representing a different part of the globe. The board of directors comprises a president, president-elect, secretary and a division vice president for each of the four international divisions. Within the international divisions there are regions. Regions vary in size and may encompass a large geographical area within a country, the whole of a country or several different countries. The regions hold annual or biennial conferences which include training workshops and a business meeting at which changes to the region bylaws and standing rules may be made. Regions consist of councils that bring together clubs for different events throughout the year. Council meetings also include training workshops. At region, council and club level activities are coordinated by an executive board consisting of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Optionally there may be a second vice president. At region level the (first) vice president is designated president-elect because they are expected to progress to the position of president. Clubs and councils may adopt this practice and incorporate it into their own bylaws but it is not mandatory under international bylaws. At each level there is an appointed officer known as the parliamentarian whose purpose is to ensure that correct parliamentary procedure is applied according to the relevant parliamentary authority. This is either Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised or the parliamentary authority of the country where the meetings are held. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「POWERtalk International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
