C. japonica 'Clown'
Speakers Bureau

 The objective of this page is to link up speakers who can talk about camellias with clubs who need speakers.  Hopefully this will help both the speakers and the clubs to achieve their common objectives.  To do this we need to develop a list of speakers who want to be put on the "Speakers Bureau" of the ACS website.  The speakers can talk for free or charge a speaking fee; there is NO cost to be on the ACS website.

Once we get enough speakers, the Speakers Bureau will be divided into regions as follows:
  • Washington/Oregon
  • Northern California
  • Southern California
  • Texas/Louissiana/Mississippi
  • Alabama/Florida
  • Georgia/South Carolina
  • North Carolina/Southern Virginia
  • Northern Virginia/Maryland/Pennsylvania/DC
  • Northeastern US
If you want to be on this list or know someone who would like to be on this list please fill out the Speakers Bureau Form
