FGS Speakers' Bureau
INVITE A SPEAKER TO YOUR GROUP!
FGS' State of the Bioregion Program is happy to announce a new outreach project designed to educate the public and promote the ideas and facts of the book, What Have We Done?
The State of the Bioregion Speakers' Bureau has collected a panel of authors and FGS-affiliated speakers in the Knoxville area. These speakers share a wide range of expertise and will give slide presentations to any group interested in learning more about environmental issues. An array of topics, listed below, is available. Any interested group can request a specific topic or a general overview of the environmental health of the bioregion. If you are interested in a topic that is not listed, contact FGS, and we will find a speaker for you. Many of our speakers are so versatile we could not list all of their fields of knowledge here. Target groups for this program include religious and community groups as well as environmental and social change organizations.
