2018 Speech Trek Results

May 2, 2018

Since 2007, Speech Trek has been showcasing talented young people responding to topics related to AAUW’s mission. Contests at branch and state levels provide students with opportunities to develop and sharpen research, critical thinking and communication skills.

In 2009, Mr. Gray Allen chose to memorialize his late wife Eleanor, Roseville/South Placer’s Speech Trek Coordinator. Mr. Allens’ annual $5,000 contribution has allowed us to offer prize money as follows:

  • 1st Place – $1,500
  • 2nd Place – $1,000
  • 3rd Place – $500
  • 4th Place – $250
  • 5th Place – $150.

Each year, the top three speakers form the semi-final round are invited to compete in the Speech Trek Finals at the annual meeting or convention.
