WACA's National Speaker Database - We Need Your Speakers!
The National Speaker Database is a Members-Only feature that allows Council Members to find speakers based on a number of different search criteria such as topic specialization or geographic area of focus. It also allows you to share your excellent speakers with the Council network.
You will also need to be logged in to view the Speaker Database and submit speakers for it – once you’re logged in, click the Speaker Database tab in the Members section to view it.
How to Submit a Speaker
  • On the Speaker Database main tab, click the “Share Your Speaker” button in the blue bar that runs across the top
  • - OR - on the left toolbar on any page in the Members section, you will also see a blue button called “Share Your Speaker”
  • Click on either of these buttons – when you do that, a Share Your Speaker Word Form will download automatically into your computer Downloads folder
  • Fill the form out and email it to
