Our Speakers Bureau provides informative and thought-provoking presentations by scholars and experts on diverse humanities topics. These rich experiences are accessible for Vermont non-profit organizations to present in their community for a small fee.
We are only accepting 2026 Speakers Bureau bookings for Vermont Reads 2026: Charity and Sylvia related programs. In September, we plan to re-open the entire Speakers Bureau catalog for bookings in 2027.
We are offering each Vermont Reads host organization up to two free Speakers Bureau talks related to the themes in Charity and Sylvia. Please note that the limit of three Speakers Bureau presentations per organization per year still remains.

Because Vermont Humanities subsidizes these programs, it allows us to fulfill our mission of offering free educational experiences to the broader community. We’re really grateful for it.
