I am curious as to who your audience will be and the purpose of your speech. Will it be given to only accounting majors? Will you be convincing them quilting is a good hobby or a good industry to use their new accounting degrees? Are you wanting to show the impact of quilting in the fabric industry, small business shops, larger stores such as JoAnn's, i.e,, local community tax bases through quilt shows, quilt fabric shops? If your speech isn't tied into accounting then what is the reason for it? Or is this just for another class that you had to take and any subject will do?
