Public Relations > Speakers Bureau

From the new high school project to character education, reading readiness, and grant writing the Souderton Area School District Speakers' Bureau has a wide range of topics of interest to the community. The new high school project, educational funding, education standards, and No Child Left Behind are all in the forefront of the news today, and the Speakers' Bureau provides insights into curricular changes, business community partnerships, funding issues and the changing look of education today.

Souderton Area School District administrators are currently participating in a Speakers' Bureau service where they will speak before service clubs, community groups, parent organizations and other small groups. The service is presented to the Indian Valley community at no charge.

A sampling of the topics is listed below. Please contact the Assistant Superintendent/Director of Pupil Services, Frank Gallagher, via e-mail at fgallagher@soudertonsd.org or telephone at 215-723-6061 Ext. 10206 for assistance.
