Other sections have presented SWE tee-shirts or calculators as part of the award. A speakers' bureau is a referral service to provide speakers on request. Many SWE members have volunteered to speak about their engineering careers to school and community groups, as well as to other engineers. If your section is like most, the majority of your career guidance requests will be filled through your Speakers' Bureau. The first thing that you should do is print a flyer or pamphlet and form letter that can be sent out publicizing your SWE Speakers' Bureau.
Many schools welcome speakers to talk to classes and for career days.
You should compile a list of intermediate schools in your area. Some Boards of Education have newsletters that are distributed to their educators that could announce your speakers' bureau. Copies of your flyer can be sent to service organizations such as the YWCA, YMCA, Business and Professional Women's Clubs, American Association of University Women, Rotary, Elks and the local Chamber of Commerce. You could also contact area technical organizations such as your local Council of engineers and Scientists, Society of Professional Engineers, and local sections of ASME, IEEE, IChE, SME, ASCE, etc. You might also want to consider using the local news media by sending press releases that mention the Speakers' Bureau and the name and the phone number of a SWE contact.
