University of British Columbia. Speakers Bureau

1975-1989

The UBC Speakers Bureau was established in 1975 by the UBC Alumni Association. Its purpose was to arrange speaking engagements by University faculty to non-profit organizations on a wide variety of topics. Organizations could contact the Speakers Bureau and inform them of their preferred date, time, and topic. In turn, the Bureau would contact faculty members who had indicated their willingness to participate in the program and whose area of expertise included the topic in question. The Bureau ceased operations in 1987; however, a new Speakers Bureau was established by Community Relations by 1989.
