HNC Speakers Needed!
Every now and then HNC receives requests for speakers from various groups in the area. These speaking engagements are a great educational tool and are quite fun to do.
If you have a topic that you are very passionate and knowledgeable about and would like to share it with others, why not volunteer to be a speaker?
Being on the list only means you might occasionally be asked to speak. You always have the right to decline any particular opportunity if you are unable to do it.
If you are interested in being on the list or would like more information, please contact Kevin Wright at Ktwright0@hotmail.com
