Requesting a Speaker
1. Mason Speakers is a free service of George Mason University. Please allow a minimum of three weeks before your publicity deadline to make arrangements for a speaker. Each community organization may schedule a Mason Speaker three times per year. 2. We require an audience of at least 30 at each event. It is very important that the organization provides as accurate an estimate of attendance as possible. Speakers prepare differently for various sized groups. They also may incur expenses in preparing handouts. Please contact us prior to the event if you do not anticipate having at least 30 participants, and we will reschedule the speaker. 3. Please note that organizations located more than 25 miles from the Fairfax campus must reimburse the speaker's travel expense at the rate of 50 cents per mile. This is to be paid at the time of the event and paid directly to the speaker. 4. The organization is responsible for providing audio/visual (A/V) equipment as needed. AV requirements are listed with each topic. 5. Select a first-choice topic and two alternatives in case your first choice is unavailable. If you can not find a topic you are looking for or if you have additional questions about the scheduling process, please call the Office of Community Relations at (703) 993-8761. 6. We'll contact the speaker to schedule the event and call you back to confirm the engagement and get additional information as needed. We will provide you with the speaker's name and phone number if you have additional questions about the topic. 7. We will follow up with a confirmation letter two to three weeks before the engagement. Following the lecture, we will send you an electronic feedback form. This will help us to continue to improve the Mason Speakers program. Thank you for using Mason Speakers for your programming needs. |
