The Speakers Bureau has a two-fold mission: to talk to mostly straight Jewish groups about being GLBT; and to talk to mostly GLBT groups about being Jewish. Although we have adult audiences, many are Confirmation classes (10th grade). Although many Speakers Bureau participants were initially nervous about getting up in front of a group of strangers, most became comfortable pretty quickly and found the experience rewarding. New people are always paired with more experienced speakers, and you can even observe a session, to see if you want to get involved.</P> <P><i>For a written guide or just to talk about the Speakers Bureau, please contact <a href="mailto:speakers@betmishpachah.org?SUBJECT=Request for Information from Web Site">speakers@betmishpachah.org</a>.</i></p> </TD></TR></TABLE></CENTER> <P><HR> <p align="center"><FONT face=Arial><small><small><b><a href="do.html">Return to What We Do</a>. <p align="center">For a description of any of the graphics on this page, click on the D next to the graphic. <BR>For more information, contact our office at <a href="mailto:office@betmishpachah.org?SUBJECT=Request for Information from Web Site">office@betmishpachah.org</a><br> Send comments about this site to <a href="mailto:webweaver@betmishpachah.org?SUBJECT=Comments About Web Site">webweaver@betmishpachah.org</a>.<br> Copyright 1996 - 2008 Bet Mishpachah.</b></small></small></FONT> <CENTER><font face=Arial size="-1" color="#999999"><small><small><P><b>This page last modified on Sunday, May 18, 2003 at 08:01 PM EDT.</b></small></small></font> </CENTER> </body>
