Presentations For Museums

Request A Speaker

FPAN can help facilitate speakers for meetings of your civic group, community organization, youth club, or heritage society, and for lecture series and special events.

Most presentations last about 30-45 minutes with additional time for questions, although programs usually can be tailored for your needs. Specific topics are dependent on speaker availability, so book early! There is no charge for presentations, although donations are gratefully accepted to support FPAN educational programs.

 Though not always comfortable, the goal of this program is to cover some methods and techniques we can use to ensure that our programs are meeting their full potential, and avoid certain harmful pitfalls.
