Speakers' Corner
The heart and soul of every ProbusPerth monthly meeting is normally the presentation by the key note speaker. It is the key ingredient that keeps members active and engaged. Over the years, the Club has been exceptionately fortunate to have so many interesting presentations. A full listing of the speakers will be be posted here shortly.
Many of the best speakers have been suggested by our members. If you know of a speaker who you think other members would love to hear, or a subject of broad interest, please get in touch with the Program Director, Ian Doig by clicking here.
