The Professional Members Benefit Fund (PMBF) provides emergency financial assistance to Professional and Legacy CAPS members who are facing one of the following crises:
Personal Tragedy
Catastrophic Health Issue
Natural Disaster
People in the speaking business typically run small businesses that don’t always provide the same level of support that large organizations provide to employees. While we expect and encourage entrepreneurs to provide for their own future needs, it is appropriate to consider how the CAPS Foundation can help those in our profession who need help.
CAPS Peer Support
Trained Volunteers: Speakers Listening
Even Professional Speakers face health challenges, car accidents, lose a loved one, or struggle with financial loss. Nature herself can take a run at us in the form of natural disasters and knock the bottom out of everything we thought we could count on.
Because we share in the human experience, there are times when our life stories get so intense, we feel the need to talk to someone - someone who understands.
This is why the CAPS Foundation offers a group of trained volunteers to be that ‘audience of one’. They are there when life feels too rocky and tough to deal with on our own.
The Peer Support Program is not meant to replace your personal support network, but there are times when those you usually count on have their own stressors. Consequently, at that time, you probably don’t want to share your pain with them. Alternatively, perhaps, you just want a confidential person to give you their perspective.
Speakers Listening is the CAPS Peer Support Program motto. The program is here for you, as a CAPS member, so you don’t have to feel alone when times are tough.
