Eric, thanks so much for linking to the Make Me A Speaker! wiki -- I started it in the hope that we could get some positive action out of the recent diversity debate and so far I'm delighted with the response :-)

I highly recommend Toastmasters for people who are interested in public speaking. Most Toastmaster clubs are happy to have guests visit them and decide if they want to join. If you live in the Maryland-DC-Metro area, check out the club I belong to: Vagabond Toastmasters

Thanks, Eric ;)
nice to take a more constructive approach to the whole debate – rather than all this pointing of fingers which followed your post. It would be a shame to divert from the great conversations and posts online about ‘web stuff’ – which is what we all like to read/talk about…

These are great resoruces – thanks! After that whole painful (if important) debate about diversity last week, I really appreciate that you took the time to suggest some resources that might in some small way help the industry get on the right path.

Or did I totally misread this post? :)
