Featured Speaker: Akaya Windwood, President of the Rockwood Leadership Program.
The YES! Speakers Bureau can help your community or organization connect with a diverse set of social change leaders working for a more just, sustainable and compassionate world. The individuals we've listed in our Speakers Bureau can inform and inspire your group around many of the issues featured in YES! magazine.

Here's how it works. To see all of our speakers, check the "All Topics" box and click "Search Speakers." Or you can narrow your search by checking one or more of the topic areas we've listed below. You can also Search by Speakers' First or Last Name or by Location (City or State abreviation).
By clicking on the name or photo of a speaker, you'll be able to see specific topics they can speak on, recent speeches, and a short biography. If you find someone you'd like to speak at your event, simply click the "Request Speaker" button and fill out our short request form. Once you submit your request, an e-mail will go to the speaker who will contact you within two weeks. If the speaker is available, you can then discuss further details such as possible honoraria and travel arrangements.

The YES! Speakers Bureau is simply another way that we are working to connect individuals and groups who believe in creating a positive future for people and the planet.
