The Speakers Bureau Directory features the names of speakers historically solicited for past Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies Speakers Bureau Directories, as well as from member and non-member societies of the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies. Pertinent information regarding their expertise, credentials, lecture topics, and fees are included. Items left blank were not addressed by the speaker. Descriptions of Some Directory Categories Credentials are, in part, professional postnomials, certifications, accreditations, awards, experience, and other qualifications that lend credibility to a speaker. Other Comments includes additional information to help determine extent of speakers' knowledge and experience, or for further clarification.
Fees are for single lectures, unless otherwise indicated.
Each lecture should be negotiated between a speaker and the interested society. Contracts by either the speaker or the society may be executed, and adequate communication between a speaker and a society is essential. Societies should contact speakers well in advance of desired presentation. In a timely manner, societies should solicit handouts from speaker and make copies for distribution to the membership. When a fee is required, society should compensate speakers on the day of their presentation.
