Speak up - share your stories

EcoSpeakers.com is the Speakers Bureau of EcoIQ -- a Cupertino company that offers a wide variety of resources for environmental speakers, writers, photographers and activists.

EcoIQ works to expand the audience for the valuable ideas and good work of speakers, authors, journalists, researchers, photographers, videographers, documentary producers, publishers, web site sponsors, and event planners who focus on the transition to a more sustainable future. EcoIQ operates EcoSpeakers.com to promote speakers for conferences, meetings, training programs, and community, business, and university speaker series.

As you consider which speaker or speakers may best meet your needs, you may want to keep topics clearly focused on your mission and theme.

While large events and policy meetings might call for highly visible speakers, don't forget the speakers closest to you. Sometimes local field workers and advocates have a better handle on your theme than a highly visible or nationally known speaker.

One sustainable concept to keep in mind is "think global, act local." By encouraging the development of speaking skills among your own community, you empower yourselves. There is nothing like being engaged to speak to make a person sharpen their facts, their ideas, and engage their network.
