UNH Speakers Bureau
About
UNH Speakers Bureau is an outreach service made possible by volunteer speakers from among the faculty and staff who teach, conduct research, study and work at UNH. Our speakers have an unparalleled enthusiasm for sharing their expertise and extending our learning community to every corner of New Hampshire.
The Speakers Bureau has more than 200 speakers and 500 presentations to choose from and reaches more than 4000 New Hampshire citizens annually.
Take advantage of this resource to see and hear for yourself the people and ideas that make the University of New Hampshire a dynamic and engaging center of learning.
As of July 1, 2012, a new Speakers Bureau model took effect. The Speakers Bureau Web site has been updated to include speakers contact information, thus enabling clients to contact members of the Speakers Bureau directly to arrange and schedule speaking engagements.
Honorariums
Please note: Speakers do not require honorariums; however, if an organization generally offers an honorarium, UNH speakers appreciate similar consideration.
