在公式訪問期間總監所作的演說，是您以較親近的方式宣揚扶輪社重要論點的機會。下列所提到的內容是協助您準備總監演說的技巧。

The governor’s address, during the official visit, is an opportunity to focus on important Rotary issues using a more personal approach. The following section will provide you with helpful tips for planning your governor’s address.

全體地區扶輪領導團隊要向整個地區的社員宣傳下年度的主要目標及重點計劃的地方。助理總監應與總監一起提供特別協助給弱勢或奮戰中的扶輪社，並鼓勵扶輪社員參與服務活動。您的領導團隊若在這些方面協助您，您就可以擁有較多的時間從容的將訪問行程安排在重要活動期間及準備您的演說。

The entire district leadership team disseminates the principal goals and areas of emphasis for the coming year to Rotarians throughout the district. Assistant governors work with the governor to provide special attention to weak or struggling clubs and motivate Rotarians to participate in service activities. The support of your leadership team in these areas frees you to schedule visits around significant events — and to plan your address accordingly.

很多實例顯示，公式訪問對扶輪社的社員來說，是他們一年一度聽到國際扶輪職員演說的機會。請將目標設定在擬定一份讓所有社員感興趣，考慮到資深社員跟新社員雙方感受的演講稿。您的演說必須以清楚的扶輪願景來激勵每位扶輪社員並非常感謝他們的扶輪傳統。

In many instances, the official visit will be the one occasion of the year for club members to hear an officer of Rotary International. Aim to develop an address that will interest all members, keeping both veteran and new members in mind. Your message should inspire each Rotarian with a clearer vision of Rotary and a greater appreciation of their Rotary heritage.

由於您必須對許多扶輪社發表演說，擬定一份基本的演講稿，然後再依照每個扶輪社的特殊需求作修改是一個較有效率的方法。基於之前的總監們也都有對扶輪社發表過演說，您的挑戰是如何發表一個既激勵又符合時機的全新演說內容。利用主題化的組合─有特定主題的簡短演說─可以讓您選擇及安排與聽眾有關連且他們感興趣的主題，為聽眾量身訂做一份演說內容。

Because you will be speaking to many clubs, an efficient approach is to develop a basic address that you can adapt to each club’s specific needs. Since previous governors have also spoken to the club, your challenge is to make your address not only inspirational but also timely and original. The use of modular components — brief speeches on a specific topic — will allow you to customize your address to your audience as you select and arrange topics that are relevant and of interest to them.

您在準備總監演說時所花費的時間會成為您服務年度所做的投資。雖然您在參加國際講習會議之前不會知道您任期內的國際扶輪主題會是什麼，您可以假設您要發表演說的場合是個別的扶輪社或是埠際會議的性質，先考慮一些可以加入演說的共通性話題：

The time you spend now in planning your speech will be an investment for your year of service. Although you will not learn the RI theme for your year until you arrive at the International Assembly, you may wish to consider some general topics in your remarks to clubs, depending on whether you are speaking to individual clubs or at intercity meetings:

• 扶輪社應關切的地區特別專案和需求

• Special projects in the district and special needs in the district that Rotary clubs should address

• 扶輪社應特別留意的地方

• Areas on which the club(s) should focus more attention

• 扶輪社對社會的重要性

• The importance of Rotary to the community

• 參加地區會議的原因及鼓勵出席

• Reasons for attending district meetings and encouragement to do so

• 運用如國際扶輪辦事處，地區委員會及公式名錄上所列出的各種工作小組和委員會委員等所能提供的資源

• The use of resources such as the RI offices, district committees, and members of the various task forces and committees listed in the Official Directory

• 使用英文扶輪月刊或公式的地域雜誌，以及扶輪世界作為在扶輪溝通與提供資訊的有效工具。(提醒扶輪社提供計劃的消息及資訊給這些出版刊物)

• THE ROTARIAN or an official regional magazine and Rotary World as effective tools for Rotary communication and information (advise clubs to forward project news and information to these publications)

•  "程序手冊"、"扶輪政策彙編"及它們在扶輪所扮演的角色

• Manual of Procedure and Rotary Code of Policies and their roles in Rotary

• 地區年會的推廣

•  District conference promotion

在國際講習會議之後，您需將下列加入演說內容：

After the International Assembly, you will want to incorporate the following points into your address:

• 年度的國際扶輪主題和國際扶輪社長計劃

• The Rotary International theme for the year and the president’s program

• 您對主題的解釋，以及如何將主題與國際扶輪社長計劃以及重點計劃的加入扶輪社和地區層級的行動當中。

• Your interpretation of the theme and ways to put the theme and president’s program and emphases into action at the club and district levels

開始準備一些可以在演說中穿插的軼事與例證的資料檔案。令人印象深刻的演說通常是：

Start a file of anecdotes and illustrations to use in your addresses. Memorable addresses are generally

• 激勵性的

• Inspirational

• 有組織的

• Well organized

• 簡要的(適合於您的地區的長度，但通常為20分鐘)

• Brief (an appropriate length for your district, but usually 20 minutes long)

• 實際且有內容的

• Practical and concrete

• 以聽眾為導向的

• Adapted to the audience

• 不要專注於國際講習會議的內容

• Not focused on the International Assembly

• 適時的穿插軼事與特別的例證

• Punctuated by anecdotes and specific examples
