Speakers
from
both
IRI
and
NDI
are
willing
to
do
many
different
types
of
events
while
with
the
council
ranging
from
programs
for
general
audiences
and
media
events.
They
are
especially
interested
in
doing
events
with
high
school
students
as
well.
Councils
can
expect
speakers
to
be
with
them
for
24
hours
and
are
encouraged
to
work
with
other
interested
regional
councils
to
coordinate
timing.
IRI
and
NDI
will
be
responsible
for
the
cost
of
the
speaker's
transportation,
accommodation,
and
meal
costs.
Councils
will
be
responsible
for
ground
travel,
media,
and
organizing
the
event.
IRI
President
Lorne
Craner
and
NDI
President
Ken
Wollack
will
attempt
to
do
as
many
of
the
events
as
possible.
If
they
cannot
participate,
IRI
and
NDI
will
work
with
the
council
to
find
a
knowledgeable
replacement
speaker. |
