Speakers Bureau
Welcome to the ACP Membership Speakers Bureau
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
