Other resources for speakers

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Speakers Bureau in Research Triangle Park is a new resource that schools and other organizations in the Triangle region can use to find and request EPA speakers. Requests are submitted directly to the speaker via the website. There is no charge for a speaker, though travel for speakers is limited to 50 miles of Research Triangle Park, NC. We ask that requests for speakers be made at least 4 weeks in advance. Check out our website at www.epa.gov/rtpspeakers/.
