Selecting the next TEDxUStreetWomen speaker is a critical decision that requires careful evaluation to ensure alignment with TED’s mission and vision. Here’s a framework to help guide your decision:

1. Clear Identification of the Problem

   • Did the speaker articulate the issue they aim to address with clarity and depth?

   • Is the problem relevant to the TEDxUStreetWomen theme and the audience?

   • Did the speaker provide a unique perspective or highlight an underrepresented issue?

2. Well-Defined Solution

   • Did the speaker propose actionable or thought-provoking solutions to the problem?

   • Are the solutions innovative, evidence-based, or rooted in their personal experiences?

   • How did the speaker inspire others to take action or rethink their own perspectives?

3. Credibility and Connection to the Topic

   • Does the speaker have expertise, lived experience, or a proven track record related to the issue?

   • Why do they believe they are the right person to speak on this topic?

   • Do they convey authenticity, passion, and a compelling reason for taking the TEDx stage?

Ultimately, the goal is to select someone who embodies the spirit of TED and TEDxUStreetWomen: someone who can share bold, brilliant, and original ideas that inspire and empower change.
