Parents and Reading Committee Speakers Bureau
The CCIRA Parents and Reading Speakers Bureau is a compilation of names of speakers who are willing to address a variety of topics of interest to parents. Local and special interest councils of IRA, day care associations, parent-teacher associations and other related groups will find the Speakers Bureau a useful resource in planning meetings for parents.
The interested group will be responsible for contacting the speaker and for arranging the details of the presentation, such as date, fee, and mileage.
Publicity accorded to any speaker's point of view does not imply endorsement by CCIRA, its Executive Committee, Board of Directors, or the membership at large.
