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:

Currently Scheduled  Presentations

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 link to this week's featured Presentation:
