    This is a great opportunity even if you have never been a speaker before. I applied last year, and although I was not selected for the national conference (I had zero speaking experience), the IMA did forward my application to a regional IMA chapter in need of speakers for their local conference. I met with them and was then selected to speak at their Carolinas Regional Conference, all because I took a chance and applied here. I was extremely nervous about giving my presentation on Financial Storytelling, and everyone at the Carolinas conference was so welcoming and gracious. They made me feel comfortable, and now I have speaking experience!
