5 Tips for giving an Association Position Acceptance Speech

Congratulations on your appointment. Taking up a position is a commitment and a honor both. What can really matter, are the few words you say just after the appointment or acceptance.

Express Gratitude: Begin your speech by sincerely thanking the organization and individuals who supported you. Acknowledge their role in your success. For example, you could say, “I am deeply grateful to the selection committee for this honor, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues, mentors, and family who have been with me on this journey.”

Be Genuine: Let your personality shine through. Show excitement and happiness about your new position. Avoid overly formal language and connect with the audience on a personal level. For instance, you might say, “I’m thrilled to accept this position, and I promise to bring my passion and dedication to the role.”

Recognize Supporters: Mention coworkers, family, and friends who contributed to your journey. Share anecdotes that highlight their impact. For example, “I wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of my team. Their encouragement and collaboration have been invaluable.”

Maintain Respectful Tone: Use polite language throughout your speech. Humility and gratitude resonate well with the audience. For instance, “I am truly humbled by this opportunity and will work diligently to uphold the trust placed in me.”

Practice: Rehearse your speech for a confident delivery. Practice helps you refine your message and manage stage presence. Remember, confidence comes from preparation! ????

End it with a BANG : Finally you need to finish the spech, by reminding them what you stand for, what you hope to achieve and gain.

Good Luck on your journey ahead. Lead with spirit. Speak with clairity.

Until next week. Keep Speaking.
