Who Can Become a Speaker

It is important that members of the Speakers Bureau represent the diversity of crime victims in our community, including but not limited to, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, physical and mental ability, racial and ethnic background, and victimization.
Requirements
Attendance at quarterly meetings is required and participation in speaking engagements is on an as-needed basis.
