By joining forces, high-quality, professional coaching insights are accessible to groups in DFW via Free Speakers, pro bono speaker's bureau
Free Speakers, a pro bono speaker’s bureau in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, has formed a partnership with the International Coaching Federation North Texas Chapter (ICF-NT) which includes the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. Free Speakers is a pro bono speaker’s bureau and community service project that provides speakers to area groups. The speaker’s bureau is 100 percent free for groups and organizations that need speakers.
The partnership benefits both ICF-NT members and the Dallas-Fort Worth community. ICF-NT members are invited to join the Free Speakers DFW speaker’s bureau for free, providing them with new opportunities to share their professional expertise and build their visibility.
In return, the DFW area immediately benefits from the influx of credentialed, professional coaches who are now available to provide free, high-quality educational presentations and workshops to civic groups, non-profits, businesses, and community organizations across the Metroplex.
