Key to any of our events is securing well-informed speakers who can educate attendees and readily respond to any questions from participants.
To that end, AUSA's Speakers' Bureau provides our Chapters, Premium Members, Community Partners and National Partners with access to a group of men and women with diverse backgrounds in military history, ongoing national security concerns and anything in between. The Bureau operates to arrange speakers for chapters and other AUSA stakeholders who are in need of conference facilitators or keynote speakers. For more information, e-mail us at [email protected].
