Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The superintendent should connect the speaker, the topic, and the audience in her speech of introduction. This will help set the stage for the speaker and make the audience more engaged and interested in the presentation. Avoiding promoting the speaker's credibility and talking too informally may be seen as unprofessional, and covering the substance of the topic may take away from the speaker's presentation.
