The Introduction Formula

For most introductions, the T-I-S formula serves as a handy guide in organizing the facts you have collected in your [speaker] research:

1. T stands for Topic. Start your introduction by giving the exact title of the speaker's talk.
2. I stands for Importance. In this step you bridge over the area between the topic and the particular interests of the group.
3. S stands for Speaker. Here you list the speakers' outstanding qualifications, particularly those that relate to his topic. Finally, you give his name, distinctly and clearly.
