Need A Speaker

Last edited by TonyB on Thu Jan 22, 2009 2:32 pm; edited 1 time in total

I’m curious about hosting a speaker at local TimeBank events. Preferably someone that would talk on the topic of Time Banking and more broadly alternative economics.

Where does one start? Do you have any suggestions, or ideas to offer in this regard?

Would you care to help compile a short list of likely individuals?

Is there an established speakers bureau on the topic of Alternative Currencies?

Cordially,
Tony Budak[/i]

Here is a promising source of speakers...

You should look into getting Paul Glover. He created Ithica HOurs and lives and works in Philadelphia. If you are close, he might be affordable. He does not have a car, though, and so you would need to pick him up from train or plane.

His information is below. Good luck....
