WAND Women Speakers' Bureau
About the Bureau
Why
the Bureau?
As
women, at this time, in this country,
we often find ourselves baffled and
alienated. We look around, and find
the state of things to be topsy turvy:
schools are crumbling while the nuclear
arsenal is being rebuilt; local fire
departments are struggling to stay outfitted
while the federal government sends out
tax rebates like greeting cards.
It
doesn’t make sense.
And
so, we’ve come together. To
articulate what we stand for, to define
our national identity, and to clarify
what we value as citizens. Together,
we will weave the fabric of America.
And
we want to encourage other citizens
to join us in this effort. We want to
help engage everyone in this vital dialogue:
where do we want our country to go?
So
we have formed the WAND Women Speakers’
Bureau. We’ve brought together
an exciting and diverse group of female
leaders. Articulate, lively —
and determined to spark the debate about
our government’s spending priorities.
These women have already made real and
lasting contributions to the world around
us; now they’re ready to share
their insights and open the debate.
We
invite you to join in this effort! We
hope you can host an event where one
of the speakers could present; to listen,
learn, and share your opinions; to help
wake up your communities.
Most
speakers ask for no honorarium, but
do request a contribution to WAND Education
Fund. Most are able to travel to other
locations, but request that travel expenses
be covered (including food and lodging).
