If you’re interested in the Speakers Bureau, I recommend you join a committee first. Your familiarity with the mission, goals and objectives of a committee will increase your knowledge of the league and a passion for the topic. An informed committee member makes for an effective speaker.
Suzie DeBusk, Speakers Bureau Chair
League members willing to volunteer for our statewide Speakers Bureau are in great demand. Using skills perfected in their professional lives or attained through experience and LWVSC training, speakers are provided with material and presentation guidelines.
LWVSC Speakers Bureau members have presented at several engagements with organizations including Heritage Isle Democratic Women’s Club, Unitarian Universal Church, Heritage High School, Salvation Army Church, Brevard Association of Women Lawyers, Friendship Fellowship Unitarian, Retired Educators Sorority Alumnae and numerous other community and residential groups. With audiences of 20 to 200 or more, our nonpartisan speakers educate citizens on state and local issues, including ballot amendments, legislative session updates, health care, gun laws, environmental and water issues, redistricting, elections law, and local government topics of interest.
