Speaker’s Bureau
Lincoln College is proud to announce the creation of the 2010-2011 Speakers’ Bureau. Local schools, businesses, and organizations may contact any of the volunteer participants to schedule a no-cost presentation at a time, date, and location convenient to both parties. Presentations may be delivered on the Lincoln College campus on a space-available basis or off-site. Although no speaking fees will be collected, those wishing to provide a stipend may make a donation to Lincoln College’s Development Office.
