Speaker's Bureau

The Healthcare Division Executive Committee maintains the Speakers Bureau as a resource listing of experienced speakers for ASQ meetings or other events. Topics are identified by the speaker as their areas of experience and competence.

Speakers should be contacted directly by the requesting group or organization regarding specific subject matter and presentation content, as well as expense reimbursement and honorarium requirements.

According to ASQ Healthcare Division Policy 006.01 Speaker's Bureau Participant and Content Standards, neither the Healthcare Division nor ASQ assumes responsibility for the content of the presentations or business arrangements made between the contracting parties.

The Speakers Bureau is prepared by and updated by the Healthcare Division Executive Committee. Questions regarding the list content should be directed to Cheri Graham-Clark at cheri.grahamclark@cox.net.
