Public speaking terrifies me. Can I join as an officer & grow in confidence or must you be confident from the start?

Hello,
You do not need to be confident from the start, potential officers only need to show potential, you do not need to be the finished product. The course will give you plenty of opportunities to develop your confidence with public speaking.
Best of luck with your application!
