Speaker Application
Apply for a Speaker
Please contact the Idaho Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Coordinator, Debra Schlechte at (208) 345-5346, or email at debra@idahohumanities.org, for assistance or more information about applying for a speaker.
• Before applying, you must contact the speaker FIRST to arrange the date and time. Do this at least 6 WEEKS before your event date. All speaker contact information is listed on our website at www.idahohumanities.org/programs/speakers-bureau/.
• Organizations are only allowed 4 speakers a year.
• All IHC speakers bureau events are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
• You can charge a minimal fee for your event, but it can be no more than $7.00, and it must be approved by the Speakers Bureau Coordinator ahead of time. However, you CANNOT EXCLUDE the general public from attending for not paying the fee.
• The sponsoring organization is responsible for the program publicity, as well as acknowledging IHC support verbally and in all printed materials. Please publicize the program sufficiently to assure the minimum audience count of 20 people is reached, so that it is cost effective for IHC and worthwhile for the speaker.
