Speaker Repository
The purpose of DACA’s Speaker Repository is to provide speaker resources for all DACA and
ABWA chapters/networks. Speakers in this repository present topics that reflect the ABWA
Mission Statement and provide market-relevant information.
This site provides guidelines and tools for members to understand how to select and interact
with speakers and to provide exposure for ABWA members that are speakers looking for
speaking engagements.(The forms mentioned in this text are not currently available online. To
request forms, contact Laura Morlando.)
