Standards Education Speakers Bureau 2013

Update for SEC: February 2013

Susan Tatiner and Rona Gertz

SESB Speaking Engagement Update

• Due to a reduction in the funds allocated to the Speakers Bureau Program ($9K total available through belt-tightening), changes will be made to the program.

• Revised goal for 2013 will be 4 speaking engagements.

• No honoraria will be awarded.

• “Alternating current” mode for SESB:

• In addition to filling requests for engagements for existing opportunities …

• We will try to create opportunities by offering one of our speakers in a location where he or she will already be. This will be less costly.
