The purpose of the Missouri Speakers Bureau is to promote humanities education throughout the state of Missouri. If your civic organization, museum, historical society, library, or similar institution or group is looking for an expert to give a presentation on a topic related to the history, culture, geography, and/or people of Missouri, we hope you will consider what this program has to offer.
To arrange a speaker, please contact the speaker directly using the contact information listed on each speaker page.
For presentations that qualify for program underwriting, there is no cost to the host organization, if underwriting is still available for said speaker presentation. Each speaker can provide up to four underwritten presentations. For the presentation to be considered for underwriting, the host organization must be nonprofit and located outside Boone, Greene, Jackson, and St. Louis counties and outside the city of St. Louis.Â
