Speakers will utilize their own laptops initially. This allows $8,000.00 for the Speaker Training Session and $25,000.00 for travel expenses for the 500 presentations. Approximately $50/per presentation. If the audiences average 50 each that is $1.00 per consumer) • Partner with key women’s organizations like the Jr. League, Soroptimists, Business & Professional Women’s clubs, etc.
