Abstract
The first step to establishing or revitalizing a public speaker bureau for a health or human services organization is to clearly define its purpose to the organization at a particular time. What do you want the speakers bureau to do for your organization or how can the speakers bureau best serve your constituents? This purpose is not the same as knowing the overall purpose or mission of an organization. The speakers bureau is a means to that end. It is an educational or communications strategy that helps fulfill the mission of your organization. The purpose should somehow be tied to the mission of the organization.
