Speakers

All Speakers Bureau presenters are currently members in good standing of Toastmasters International.

They’ve met rigorous requirements of communication and leadership training, and many have earned advanced awards, held officer positions, and competed in speech contests against some of the best speakers in the world.

Speaking engagements arranged through the Queen City Toastmasters Speakers Bureau are a complimentary community service. Some Speakers Bureau members may be available for future appearances on a for-fee basis. The Bureau does not schedule, negotiate, or collect fees for any paid appearances.

Adriana Vermillion ACB, CL

Adriana LOVES presenting for ALL groups, however she is particularly popular as a motivational speaker in certain industries. She's a very funny keynote speaker for mom groups, women's groups (both professional and women's wellness groups), and is in constant demand as a conference speaker for parenting organizations (her research on child development and parenting go deep!) and keynote presenter for education groups (once a teacher, always a teacher!).

Adriana is also known as America’s Potty Whisperer and of course one of her favorite topics is potty training (not only for children, but your mouth, mind, attitude and more).

Laura Frohboese CC, CL

Laura is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years in mental health and medical settings.  She combines her love of mental health recovery, with her corny sense of humor and love of public speaking from Toastmasters to talk with groups about ways to overcome anxiety, depression, and substance use. She brings a lighthearted approach to sometimes-heavy topics and offers real, tangible solutions for small or large groups as well as organizations.
