Alameda County Master Gardeners - Speaker Request Form

Use this form to request a speaker from the Alameda County Master Gardeners to deliver a presentation, workshop, lecture or speech at your location. Once we have this information, we will work to find a speaker for your event. Because of the time required to locate a speaker, and work on materials, we request a 2 months advance notice for speaker engagements.

Provide as much information as possible in order to be matched with the best speaker for your needs and to allow the Speaker’s Bureau Coordinator and Area Coordinators to provide the right type and quantity of materials.

A volunteer from our Speaker's Bureau will be in touch with you soon after receiving your request.
