Speaker Resources
It’s not always easy to come up with ideas week after week! If you need a speaker, listed below are some who have already presented at at least one club in our district. The best part is that each speaker comes with a recommendation from one of our clubs, and has already indicated a willingness to present to other clubs.
Add to the list! If you have enjoyed a presentation from someone who was spoken to your club, please share that information with us so that we can include that speaker here. Be sure to indicate whether or not that speaker has given their consent to present to additional clubs. Please include the:
- Name and title of the speaker
- Speaker contact information
- Organization that the speaker represents
- Subject of the topic
- Is the speaker willing to present to other clubs?
If your club has had an interesting speaker that would be available to speak to other clubs in our district, please send us the details so we can post it here.
