Free Speakers, a pro bono speaker’s bureau in Milwaukee, has formed a partnership with the International Coaching Federation Wisconsin Chapter (ICF-WI). Free Speakers is a pro bono speaker’s bureau and community service project that provides speakers to area groups at no cost. The speaker’s bureau is 100 percent free for groups and organizations that need speakers.
The partnership benefits both ICF-WI members and the Milwaukee community. ICF-WI members are invited to join the Free Speakers Milwaukee speaker’s bureau at no cost, providing them with new opportunities to share their professional expertise and build visibility.
In return, the Milwaukee area immediately benefits from the influx of credentialed, professional coaches who are now available to provide free, high-quality educational presentations and workshops to civic groups, non-profits, businesses, and community organizations across the city and suburbs.
“This partnership allows our members to deliver high-impact speeches from professional coaches directly to non-profits and community groups, fulfilling our mission to advance the practice of coaching while serving the MKE community,” said Jen Farley, PCC, president of ICF-WI. “Not only are our members invited to join Free Speakers, but ICF-WI will be educating groups on our mission and the value of coaching.”
“We’re celebrating 10 years in Milwaukee this year and this partnership is the cherry on top for our celebrations,” said Andy Richardson, director of Free Speakers. “Partnering with ICF-WI allows us to bring even more high-quality coaches into our Milwaukee bureau, expanding our offerings to the greater MKE community.”
