About: 

Through the Effective Speaking Program, cadets can hone their communication skills, gain self-assurance, and cultivate leadership qualities that will benefit them both inside and outside of the cadet community. It teaches cadets how to arrange their thoughts and communicate effectively under stress. The program offers useful, lifelong skills in a supportive setting, whether your goal is to overcome shyness, get ready for future educational or professional opportunities, or just develop as a leader. (For additional information, see National Effective Speaking Program)

The program consists of an effective speaking competition hosted at 211, and anyone who signs up is invited to participate. The date will be announced soon. The winner of the squadron competition will advance to the regional, then, if successful, provincial, and finally national competition.
