Speakers and Facilitators
We already have one speaker, Paula Mirk from Global Ethics. We probably need one
more. (We have contacted 2 others so let's wait to hear from them before we send out
more feelers). Once we have our speakers we need the following to happen:
Student panel - consisting of graduates from GPS and other schools. Schools know for
Global Ed are Hathaway Brown and Provident Day.
Consistent contact with speakers to provide details of the conference and details of
what we expect from the talk.
Communication with Maria Matthews about possible use of Speaker Series endowment
for honorarium
Transportation from hotel to school and back
Transportation to and from airport
Arrangement for evening meals for facilitators with Jessica and Cindy to go over
procedures. This happens the night before the conference.
We are probably not looking for super high profile (and expensive and hard-toget) speakers, but I thought I would throw these names out anyway- just because
I am personally interested in hearing them speak and it would draw me into
attending a think tank: Fareed Zakaria (of CNN and Newsweek International) and
Gabor Steingart (of Der Spiegel). -Katye

Program
I have heard from the Office of Multicultural Affairs with the city. Who knows--they might
be interested in sponsoring. The contact people are Solomon Hatch, Community
Outreach Coordinator, and Barbara Medley, Interim Director. I am not sure if this is
Sponsors category, Program, or PR category so thought I'd add it anyway--Jessica
