Fall 2000 COMMON Conference

COMMON established the Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame to recognize presenters at its conferences whose sessions are exceptional in both content and delivery. Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame Awards are based on evaluation forms turned in by attendees following each session. Ratings are based on the average of responses to questions regarding session content; the speaker’s presentation skills; the speaker’s ability to communicate knowledge of topic; use of training aids; and the overall rating for the session.

The top one percent of the sessions are awarded a Gold medal, the next two percent of the sessions are awarded a Silver medal, and the next four percent of the sessions are awarded a Bronze Medal.

The Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame was established in 1994.
