Speechwriter, make it official

Use a quiet hour in the office to give yourself two gifts this year:

First, gather up your best speeches from last year and enter them into the 2014 Cicero Speechwriting Awards.

Then, join the new Professional Speechwriter’s Association.

If things go well, you’ll be transformed from a speechwriter … to an award-winning member of the Professional Speechwriters Association.

That not only sounds a lot better, it is a lot better.
