Mark DeVolder has netted his share of hat tricks playing Vernon men’s oldtimers soccer. Now he has one in the world of professional speaking.
For the third consecutive year, DeVolder has been awarded the prestigious Top5 Speaker award by Speakers Platform, a prominent U.S. speakers bureau.
Each year, Speakers Platform recognizes five speakers within 10 topic areas. Entries are judged based on expertise, professionalism, presentation skills, original contribution to the field and public votes cast on the organization’s website (www.speaking.com).
More than 13,000 votes were cast from business leaders, educators, association members and others from around the world for the 2012 nominees.
“Thank you to all my clients, friends and especially the people of Vernon for their enthusiastic support,” he said.
DeVolder, who specializes in speaking on change management and employee engagement, is represented by more than 70 top speaker’s bureaus on four continents. He has engaged audiences from New York to Dubai, from Toronto to Jamaica, and from Bogota to Kuala Lumpur. Among his client list are NASA, Motion Industries, Tolko, BP Oil, IBM, Konecranes, AIG Financial Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
