Speaker Request Form

While AARC strives to accommodate all executive engagement requests that support the mission of the association, the calendars of the President and Executive Director often fill up months in advance. To optimize their engagement opportunities, any invitation to speak at or attend an event must be initiated by completing this form — ideally, at least six weeks in advance. Once a request is submitted, executive staff will respond in a timely manner. After you submit this form, an executive assistant will inform you of the executive’s availability. If participation is confirmed, you will need to send an agenda and meeting link (if virtual) within one week of the event to the executive assistant. Staff members may need additional information related to your request. Please respond promptly to ensure we can get your request scheduled. Furthermore, travel expenses are to be paid by the requestor. AARC Chartered Affiliates may apply for a travel grant to help cover expenses.
