The Showrunner Society is for virtual assistants, social media managers, and admins who support professional speakers, or want to. One live strategy meetup every month. Real systems, real access, and a public directory listing that puts you in front of speakers who are hiring.
Claim Your Seat: $450 Down See the Run of ShowIn television, the showrunner is the person responsible for everything. The scripts, the budget, the schedule, the crew, the deadlines, keeping the whole production on the air. The stars get the fame. The showrunner makes the show possible.
Now look at what you do. The speaker is the talent. You are the production. The inquiries, the contracts, the travel, the content, the follow-up, the client experience: that is the show, and somebody has to run it. When it's run well, the speaker looks flawless and never has to think about why.
That's the methodology of this room. We don't train you to be "available help." We train you to run the show: to understand the speaking business well enough to anticipate it, systematize it, and become the person a speaker cannot imagine working without. The speaking industry has no governing body and no manual. This membership is where you learn it right, once, from people who actually do this work.
“The way you pour into others and give them the confidence to go from an administrative assistant to a business manager is remarkable. There are many people who can show you how to execute the speaker game, but one of the first hires you need is a rock-star admin who can handle the calls and booking leads, and is empowered to negotiate within approved parameters. If you have a VA or a full-time assistant, you need to have them take Regina's course. Yes, I highly recommend it.” John Register, CSP Paralympic Medalist | Keynote Speaker
Fair question, since I run both. Here's the plain answer.
The Academy runs short, intensive cohorts: a few weeks, live, application only, done at full pace. It's where speakers bring their team members to be trained together, and where a VA who's ready to pay in full and move fast gets exactly that.
Twelve months, one strategic meetup, one deliverable, and one homework assignment every month, 20 support professionals and zero speakers in the room. Built for the VA or social media manager who wants the same standard of teaching at a monthly pace and a monthly payment, with time to implement between sessions instead of drinking from a firehose.
Same teaching. Same no-hype standard. Different pace, different room, different door. If you're a speaker, your door is speakervas.com. If you run the show behind one, you're already standing at the right one.
“The conversation with Regina was eye-opening in the best way. I learned the differences between a speaker agent and a speaker manager, compensation for services, and the criteria to look for in potential clients. It helped me gain confidence in starting my own business.” Deborah Northcutt Speaker Concierge
Not a webinar you watch. A working session you participate in: teaching, hot seats, and Q&A. Capped at 20 members so you're a name, not a number.
A template, checklist, or SOP framework you put to work immediately, plus a homework assignment after each session. Information without implementation is just digital clutter.
Complete your first 3 months in good standing and you're listed on speakersupportstaff.com, where speakers go looking for vetted support. Earned, not given. That's what makes it worth something.
Every topic published before you spend a dime. No mystery box memberships here.
VAs and social media managers each see their craft on the calendar. Everyone attends everything, because a great showrunner understands the whole production.
Members in good standing get the invitation to upgrade to featured VIP directory placement. Optional, and only when you've built the foundation for it.
“This is not your typical class. It’s very participant-driven. She truly is a goddess of the speaker world! The course covers everything, from handling client and bureau inquiries, understanding step-by-step processes, and using proper communication, to learning the importance of building strong relationships. No matter what questions you have, Regina takes the time to answer them thoroughly and ensures you’re never left in the dark. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the confidence I gained. By the end of the class, I felt much more comfortable navigating the speaker industry. Regina helps you get familiar with CRM platforms like eSpeakers or Zoho, depending on what you use. It was truly one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. I walked away with confidence and a solid knowledge base that I’ll carry with me throughout my career.” Jasmin Levy Business Manager to John Register

Total 12-month investment, per person
After Month 3, you continue month to month through Month 12, and your rate never changes. One seat covers one person. No sharing, no substitutes.
First meetup: Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Claim Your Seat: $450 DownI design and manage the teams, systems, and structure behind profitable speaking businesses, so the speaker can focus on showing up instead of catching up. I've been building online businesses since 2004 and running speaker backends since 2015: bookings, bureaus, contracts, travel, all of it. I built this room because I've watched too many talented support pros stay stuck, not for lack of skill, but because nobody ever taught them how this industry actually works. Twenty of you at a time, done right.
Jessica is proof the methodology works. A graduate of the Academy, she now runs the operations for professional speakers herself: the follow-up, the logistics, and the details that quietly make or break a booking, all handled without the speaker ever having to think about them. She's in this room to show you what running the show looks like from the inside.
“You focus on serving people. I keep the operations running smoothly.”
Katherine is the front end of the speaker engine, period. Formerly a Sales VP at Leading Authorities, she has spent 15+ years on the side of this business most support pros never get to see: how bureaus decide who gets booked, positioned, and paid. When she pulls back that curtain in this room, take notes.
“Regina has been absolutely invaluable. She helped me put the right structure, systems, and processes in place to manage Owen Fitzpatrick’s speaking business at a much higher level. Her guidance has been clear, strategic, practical, and incredibly insightful. What stands out most is that she understands not just the operations side, but the importance of creating a premium, white-glove client experience from the very first touchpoint. Her support has helped us become more organized, professional, and much more intentional in how we manage speaker inquiries, client communication, and the overall event experience.” Sandra Pou Program Director for Owen Fitzpatrick
The first live meetup is Wednesday, October 7, 2026, on Zoom. All 12 meetup dates arrive with your welcome email the moment you enroll.
Because I answer to every member in that room. Twenty means hot seats, real feedback, and a community small enough that people know your name. More seats, less me. No thanks.
Meetups are recorded for members. But this room rewards the people who show up live, and your Month 3 directory listing requires live attendance at 2 of your 3 foundation meetups plus your submitted deliverables.
It's earned. Stay current on payments, complete the Month 1 through 3 foundation requirements, and it's yours. It is visibility, not a promise of clients. Anyone promising you clients is selling something else.
No, this room is for support professionals only. But there's something built for exactly that: the speaker and team member program at speakervas.com.
After the 3-month commitment, yes, with written notice before your next billing date. The first 3 months are locked, no exceptions. That's not a fine-print trap, it's stated right here in daylight.
Members who complete all 12 months in good standing keep their basic directory listing free for another 12 months. Where you go from there is Month 12's whole conversation.
“Regina is very likely the best business manager in the speaking business. Her ability to leverage systems, deliver white-glove service, and manage teams makes her an incredible asset to any speaking business. In the ten years we've worked together, she has helped grow my business beyond what I thought was possible.” Crystal Washington, CSP, CPAE Technology Strategist & Futurist
