Speakers Bureau : SRA

The SRA Speakers Bureau makes available a modest fund to assist SRA regional organizations with the travel and lodging expenses of bringing a current or former SRA official to speak at a regional organization meeting. This travel funding provides an excellent opportunity for the regional organizations to have internationally recognized risk experts participate in their local meetings. It also enables the international SRA to publicize its role to the regional organizations and to build enthusiasm for regional organizations and SRA membership. The funded speaker is asked by SRA to spend a few minutes of his or her talk describing the SRA and its activities (for which the SRA supplies a few slides). The fund is administered by the SRA Secretariat in consultation with the SRA Regions Committee chair.
