Education Committee and Leadership Beckley
Speakers Bureau
Available Speakers Listing
Serving Raleigh County Schools
The Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce Education Committee along with Leadership Beckley has formed a group of our member business representatives (Speakers Bureau) interested in speaking to Raleigh County students by invitation from teachers on specific careers and topics related to their business, interests or expertise.
We will maintain this contact list of speakers that it will be made available to Raleigh County teachers so that they can contact speakers directly when they have a need for an outside, “real life” presentation on a subject being discussed in the classroom.
This list also includes a “Judges” section of interested representatives available to be judges at school events, presentations and contests.
Please complete the form linked below if you are interested in volunteering to serve on the Speakers Bureau and/or serve as a Judge:
