U.S. Specialists

U.S. Specialists are American experts who engage with foreign audiences around the world through lectures, workshops, and seminars on U.S. policies, society, and culture. These experts may be U.S. Government officials, but most are not; the Embassy can specifically request them or simply ask for some of their time during a pre-arranged visit. These events are used to inform the Moroccan public and policy makers, and they may include:

• Traveling Speakers: authors, U.S. government officials, professional athletes, and others engage directly with foreign audiences.
• Citizen Dialogues: Americans of all religious backgrounds share their experiences, highlighting religious contributions to U.S. society.
• Digital Video Conferences and Electronic Speakers: American experts connect with people worldwide through digital video conferences, Webchats, Webcasts, and blogs (in a variety of languages).
• Podcasts: audio files are posted on the Embassy website or facebook page or broadcast on local radio stations. They include interviews with prominent Americans, stories about U.S. society and culture, and U.S. policy highlights.

Embassy Speakers Program

The Embassy Speakers Bureau program is run by the Information Resource Center (IRC) in Rabat. The goal of the Embassy Speakers Bureau program is to explain U.S. policies and culture and to promote understanding of mutual U.S-Moroccan values. Through this program, Universities, primarily junior-high and high schools, but also U.S.-Moroccan friendship groups and organizers of public events, can request to have an American Embassy Officer come and speak on a wide variety of subjects. Topics range from general presentations on the U.S. to issues such as U.S. foreign policy, U.S. elections, and the functioning and services of the Embassy.

NOTE: 

Speakers are not specialists or technical experts on specific subjects but can speak broadly about their experiences and knowledge about matters related to the United States, American culture and society. This program is not designed to provide experts or technical speakers for conferences or formal events. 

There is no charge to schedule a speaker for your organization.  To request an Embassy Speaker, please complete and return the following form to the IRC no later than three weeks prior to the presentation
or contact via email the IRC staff at Webmaster_Rabat@state.gov
