We are a non-profit society and therefore, do not have the means to compensate the level of professional talent that our profession requires to keep it moving forward. We do have a small budget for use on special situations for travel and or other expenses, and for token gestures of our appreciation. All monetary reimbursements are determined on an individual basis by our board members. However, our past speakers have found numerous reasons to justify volunteering their time and efforts with a few mentioned reasons listed below as follows:

Many of our speakers have ASQ certifications which require on-going maintenance. One method of doing this is by becoming a section 703 speaker. One re-certification credit is given by ASQ for every talk.
By becoming a speaker your message, products, and or business presence is announced to the entire San Diego Quality community for years to come via our web site, our mailings, and directly during the meeting you speak for.
One way to further ones career is to provide evidence that he/she is a leader in their related profession. Becoming a speaker looks good on the resume.
By guiding others, the entire quality profession benefits. Therefore, it's a good way to pay back society for your good fortune in life.
It's a good way to gain speaking experience and or to test out important speeches you might have to give to other audiences later on.
