The ACP is pleased to announce the creation of a Speakers Bureau to serve its membership and the continuity industry. Speakers are ACP members who have identified a willingness and expertise to present at organizational meetings, conferences, or special events.

Whether you're a small to mid-sized business, corporation, civic or faith based organization, in the public or private sector, ACP member speakers offer a vast array of educational and empowering topics that can energize, enlighten and entertain your audience.

Proudly celebrating 25 years as an association in 2008, ACP continues to be the premier nonprofit organization, embracing the diverse knowledge and experience of our members. Dedicated to our profession, each and every ACP member is committed to the ACP organization's mission, goals, code of ethics and core values, regardless of our individual affiliations.

Please contact any of the speakers directly to obtain supplemental information relative to your particular interests and requirements.

Have a topic in mind that isn’t currently listed? Send an e-Mail to Education@acp-international.com for assistance.

Be sure to check back periodically as we continue to expand the list of speakers from our 2,800+ ACP member community of professional, talented subject matter experts and resources.
