Each speaker listing includes contact information, a list of topics, total presentations per year, years of experience
and a list of the speaker's expertise. Please contact the speaker directly to obtain information regarding availability
or fees.
The directory is searchable and will allow you to focus on name, topic, home state, zip code or any combination of the
above. If searching by zip code, speakers in surrounding areas will also be returned. If you live near a state border,
please also check a zip code from the adjoining state.
To begin, enter your search criteria and click "Search." You will
then see the specific information for all of the people that meet your criteria. If you see a limited number of options
you may want to broaden your search. Please contact the NAEPC office if you experience problems.
