MBRT 2012 Speakers Bureau Recruitment

The Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber is pleased to partner with the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education (MBRT) on its Maryland Scholars Speakers Bureau program, which demonstrates to middle and high school students the importance of completing rigorous coursework and the vital connection between achievement in school and success in college, the workplace and in life.

We need your help. In order to reach 50,000 students across the state, 3,000 volunteer speakers are needed. Please encourage your employees – both professional and support staff – to participate in this worthwhile effort. Their voices and perspectives are important ones for students to hear.

Each volunteer speaker is asked to attend a 3-hour training session and to make 4 classroom presentations, a total commitment of about 10 hours – a small investment for college/career-ready graduates and a better prepared workforce.

More than 30 training sessions are scheduled in September/October/November throughout the state, and classroom presentations take place throughout the school year. Volunteers should register online at www.mbrt.org/speak. For questions, please contact LaTara Harris at 410-788-0333, or via email at LaTara@mbrt.org .

Please share the attached flyers with your employees and encourage their participation:

Thanks for your help.
