The CCA’s Speakers’ Bureau launched in 2018 to create a platform for CCA Kids and Adults to share their passions, interests, professions and personal stories in front of an audience. The Bureau provides training and guidance equipping our speakers with the resources and guidelines to build on their current public speaking skills, while also providing avenues to educate the general public through speaking engagements at schools, organizations, clubs, and corporations.

Are you interested in joining the Speakers’ Bureau? The CCA Speakers’ Bureau launched in 2018 due to an influx in requests from schools and organizations to hear the stories and experiences of our CCA Kids and Adults.The Speakers’ Bureau certification process is outlined below. Please read through to the bottom of the page to learn more about this important program. Below, you find all our forms, including the bureau information sheet, code of ethics, and application. Let’s get speaking!
As of the Fall of 2022, with the generosity of the Ananda Foundation and our mentors David Roche and Marlena Blavin, we are taking the Bureau a step further by establishing a speaker’s honorarium and travel fee. The honorarium and fee will not only support our speakers but a portion of the fee will be reinvested in a scholarship fund and continuous mentoring and training programs for our speakers. The scholarship fund will allow us to never deny a school or civic organization a speaker due to their inability to pay. While the training program grants us the opportunity to continue investing in the growth of our speakers.We are currently accepting applicants on a rolling basis
