Speakers Bureau
The Senior Connection Speakers Bureau, as a
Community Service, hosts topics 2-4 times a month at different local
venues, presented by local guru's in their field.
These Presentations are educational in nature - they
are NOT sales pitches for a Presenter's company. They are intended
to help attendees become better, more knowledgeable consumers by
better understanding the goods and services that they may need.
The Speakers Bureau Presentations focus on the needs
of Seniors and Family Caregivers, including generic information on
the goods and services provided in the local community.
This is a great opportunity to get the very latest
information on a variety of subjects presented by local area Gurus.
NO sales pitches are allowed, this is strictly an
educational opportunity. There is no obligation and
Presentations are open to the public. Here is our list of
Presentation scheduled to date for the year:
Each public Presentation is video-taped live and
uploaded to our own server for viewing 24/7 on your computer or
smart phone. Also, a button is provided next to the video which
allows you to download the Handout for this Presentation. Here is a

Once a video Presentation is replace by the next
