Speakers Bureau Program

Event Checklist

	Decide on possible dates for event, the type of event, and its location and time.
	Decide on your top three choices for a speaker.
	Fill out the request form online or send it to Krysia L. Villón ’96, assistant director of clubs, Alumnae Association, 50 College St., South Hadley, MA 01104.
	Have you received your confirmation letter? If the information is incorrect or has changed, please inform us by calling 413-538-2738 or by e-mail.
	Send event invitations. You can inform your club about your event by sending a postcard, flyer, or broadcast e-mail. Contact Krysia L. Villón ’96 to decide which type of communiqué best suits your club membership.
	Arrange to have a club officer be the speaker’s main point of contact and host. This person should offer assistance to the speaker in a variety of ways, such as, but not limited to: preparing an itinerary, preparing driving directions, arranging overnight accommodations, arranging for meals, and/or arranging for local transportation to and from the airport or the event itself.
	Send your speaker an acknowledgment letter or e-mail. Speakers Bureau participants are generous with their time but would also just love to hear from you.
	Send in your feedback form to let us know if we can better serve you or just to let us know how wonderful your speaker was!

True leaders are […] agents of change. They are the ones whose impact is felt long after they have left. They ones whose work is self-perpetuating. They are the individuals who are working after hours, the ones who take the time to listen, and the ones who look to the future.
