How to Word a Promotion to a Specialist
Wording a promotion to a specialist is a rewarding task that takes time, reflection and consideration. Talking points that honor the individual being promoted and justify the actions leading to the promotion should be the focus of the overall wording, as well as addressing accomplishments specific to the specialist's contribution to the company's achievements. If speaking to an audience about the specialist, highlight how his accomplishments proved advantageous for the overall group. Include any support he may have had such as family, parents and friends.

Reflect on the specialist's accomplishments. Any person who is awarded a promotion has accomplishments and achievements that contribute to the betterment of the company. A specialist has focused areas for accomplishments, making the task of determining what words to choose a little bit easier. If the specialist's work has impacted a larger organization, consider mentioning this in any citation or speech.

Determine what warrants a promotion. Why an individual gets promoted is always scrutinized by audiences. Consider starting your speech with words that describe the steps necessary to getting promoted and then fit the specialist's accomplishments into these requirements. Consider elements of professionalism, teamwork and education as the contributing factors that will provide depth to any speech or citation.

Write a draft. Before putting anything down permanently or delivering that final speech, write a draft that covers everything you want to say. This will allow you to choose words more carefully and then read them in the context of the message you're trying to convey. Many speeches and citations are written poorly because words are chosen in haste and overlook the accomplishments specifically achieved by the specialist being promoted.

Memorize what you will say. If you are to deliver your words in a speech, consider taking the time to memorize what will be said. If memorization is a problem, consider writing some key words down on a 3-inch-by-5-inch index card. These words will steer you in saying what is appropriate for the promotion and the specialist being honored.
