Speakers Bureau

Guidelines

Presentations are available to non-profit groups for a $100 co-payment (address checks to the RI Council for the Humanities).
Payment must be received at least two weeks prior to scheduled events. The Council directly reimburses the speakers for their honorarium fee.
RICH asks that all host organizations provide free admission to audience members.
To request presentations or discuss ideas for combining multiple presentations, call 401-273-2250. Because our ability to fulfill requests is subject to the availability of speakers, please attempt to offer more than one scheduling option.
Allot at least one hour for presentations.
Please initiate your request at least six weeks before your first target date.
For most presentations, we ask that you attract an audience of at least 20 people. Smaller groups are appropriate for some workshops and discussions.
RICH reserves the right to limit the size of audiences or alter the fee structure for very large audiences.
We require that host organizations acknowledge RICH support in all publicity and at the beginning of each presentation. We will provide you with an appropriate statement of support and other promotional materials.
Event coordinators should complete evaluation forms and compile the results of the Audience Survey within two weeks of presentations, and return those forms to RI Council for the Humanities, 385 Westminster St., Suite 2, Providence, RI 02903.
