2025 Stand & Delivers

​

The purpose of Stand and Deliver is to teach students how to enjoy the process of preparing to give his/her best at a speech contest.

If you are ready to learn the speaking strategies and advice used by Professional Speakers and state winning speakers, Stand and Deliver is for you. Stand and Deliver started in 2000 and has sharpened the presentation skills of almost 10,000 students.

Professional Speakers, Rhett Laubach and Kelly Barnes, are ready once more to give you everything they know on how to be your best at Extemporaneous, Prepared and Creed CDEs. The Stand and Deliver conferences will push the veterans and get the beginning speakers up to speed.
