Workshop Presenters and Speakers
With thousands of members across the globe, the National Episcopal Church women wants to help its membership connect with talented speakers. We maintain a list of speakers and workshop presenters that may be contacted to speak at your function or Zoom meeting. Each of these speakers provide a robust and engaging platform in topics such as:
- Christian spirituality
- Creation care and environmental justice
- Social justice issues
- Church fundraising
- Outreach
- The Church worldwide
Some of these presenters may charge a fee for their time and some do not. We suggest you contact a speaker that interests you and talk through this with the individual.
If you are a potential workshop presenter or would like to suggest someone for this list, please complete our Speaker Connection Form
