HIV+ Speakers Bureau Search
Who’s Positive is proud to announce the formation of a national HIV-Positive Speakers Bureau. This bureau will assist anyone seeking HIV-positive speakers for lectures, conferences, colleges, high schools, etc. to help humanize the stories of those infected or affected by HIV. It is hoped that by sharing the stories of those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS that we’ll help to encourage and provide opportunity for people to empower themselves to know their HIV status. We want to launch and head 'the' National HIV-positive Speakers Bureau. We hope to become 'the place' people go to anytime they need a speaker infected or affected by HIV/AIDS
Who’s Positive is currently seeking to contract individuals & couples who identify as HIV infected or affected to submit their stories, no longer than one page, contact information and a picture to speakers@whospositive.org. Who’s Positive will begin a selection process and invitations will be offered to those who can articulate their stories, emotions, and feelings associated with being infected or affected with HIV/AIDS. This process is expected to begin the first quarter of 2012.
Our official website for the Speakers Bureau is currently under construction and will be officially launch in 2012. “I’ve wanted to do this for years says Tom Donohue, founding director for Who’s Positive. My travels and conversations with people infected and affected across the country reaffirm that people do want to talk about their stories, they want to help humanize their stories to the point it becomes a prevention tool. Who’s Positive is the perfect liaison and outlet for people infected and affected to share their stories.”
If you are interested in submitting your information - please go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/wpspeakersbureau and fill out a survey to be considered. This survey is long, it's intended to be that way and will take you at least 20 minutes to complete. We are seeking individuals or couples who want to and can tell their story, it begins with you telling your story in writing. Once you submit your story and survey, you'll be considered to move to the next step which will be a discussion with staff at Who's Positive about your story. We expect that to take part in late first quarter 2012 or early second quarter of 2012.
Developing the site is time consuming. We want to be that portal that people use to find the right speaker.
