The Speakers Group Offers Expanded Service to Meeting Planners
The Speakers Group, established as a speaker management and marketing firm in December 2003, has recently expanded to assist meeting planners as a full-service speakers bureau, while maintaining its roster of five managed speakers.

I was looking around for a profession that would supplement my income. When my friend Danniel Star took a leave of absence from his teaching job, he started speaking to groups.
He was getting paid more as a speaker than as a teacher and he got to repeat his material! Sounded good to me. Danniel's first year as a speaker was a little lean financially, though.
