'Cheap Talk' For Indianapolis Area Clubs And Groups

A new pro bono speaker’s bureau in Indianapolis - FreeSpeakers.org - proves that some things in life are indeed free.

This pro bono speaker's bureau is a new resource in Indianapolis and its suburbs for groups and organizations that need speakers. The new bureau has more 30 local speakers with more than 65 different topics available.

"All speakers present programs at no cost," said Ginny Richardson, founder of FreeSpeakers.org. "This is a community service project that is 100 percent free to groups that have limited (or no) budgets."

Groups include Chambers of Commerce, libraries, Rotary and Kiwanis groups, special interest clubs, church groups, retirement communities, women's clubs, men's clubs, etc.

There is no charge to any group. Ever. Not from the speaker and not from the bureau.

What’s in it for the speakers? Certainly not money. They are motivated by the opportunity to teach, hone speaking skills, make contacts, convey a message, give back to the community and frequently, all of the above.

"I have found that many people were - and are - interested in becoming speakers in the bureau, very high level people, all with experience and willingness to give a talk, unconcerned about the size of the audience or the donated time," Richardson said.

Speakers have a grand opportunity to hone speaking skills, educate the public, and maybe most important, speakers are giving something of themselves for the greater good.

"Speakers are rewarded with loads of contacts, friendships and good will," Richardson said. "For our speakers, it's more than enough."
