JHU Speakers Wanted for Maryland Educational Initiative

Want to make a big difference in a young student's life? Consider joining the more than 1,500 Marylanders who make up the Achievement Counts Speakers Bureau for the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education.

Working professionals who join the Speakers Bureau help motivate middle and high school students to envision a career and to appreciate how doing well in school pays off later in life.

Volunteer speakers must attend a three-hour training session in September and commit to making three to five appearances in a local classroom in the fall.

"We are looking for articulate working people from various backgrounds and professional experience," said LaTara Harris, the program director. "More importantly, they need to be young at heart."

Currently, more than 75 Johns Hopkins faculty, staff and alumni participate in the program.

For more information or to sign up, go to www.mbrt.org/speak or contact Harris at 410-727-0448 or latara@mbrt.org.
