History
The UBC Alumni Association established the UBC Speakers Bureau in 1975. Its purpose was to arrange speaking engagements by University faculty to non-profit organizations on a wide variety of topics. Organizations could contact the Speakers Bureau and inform them of their preferred date, time, and topic. In turn, the Bureau would contact faculty members who had indicated their willingness to participate in the program, and whose area of expertise included the topic in question. The Bureau ceased operations in 1987; however, Community Relations established a new Speakers Bureau in September 1988.
