Speakers Bureau
The missions of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge installations touch many areas of vital public interest and concernenergy supply and demand, basic and applied scientific research, technological innovation and economic development, environmental protection, environmental management, national defense, technology transfer, human health, and the conquest of disease, to name a few.
As a result, Oak Ridge National Laboratory staff members are called upon frequently to discuss their work and its importance to the nation. To meet this interest, a centralized Speakers' Bureau was established in 1975. Since then, it has served as a focal point for arrangements between outside organizations seeking speakers and company staff members who have volunteered their services within the limits of available time and program commitments.
To make arrangements, please contact Fred Strohl (strohlhf@ornl.gov) of ORNL's Office of Communications and Community Outreach at 865-574-4165. Advanced notice of one month for scheduling is requested. There is no charge.
