The speakers bureau includes limited availability of speakers who are fluent in Spanish and can address certain topic areas.

DLI recommends requests are made at least 60 days in advance of any planned event or meeting.

If a group has a specific area of interest, please provide additional detail in the request so the presentation can be tailored to fit the audience's needs.
