SPEAK AT AWAG

Thank you for your interest in speaking at AWAG!

 

We are always looking for dynamic speakers to cover a range of topics to support our leaders and develop their skills. We’re especially looking for speakers who have a strong understanding of the military-connected community and a heart for service. If you can deliver meaningful content that trains, strengthens, and connects we’d love for you to apply.

​

We strongly encourage speakers to first contribute to their local Area Seminar in the Fall. These regional events are an essential part of our leadership development pipeline and help us identify speakers who are a great fit for our Annual program.
 

Each AWAG Area Representative oversees speaker selection for their respective Area Seminar. If you’re interested in getting started fill out our Speaker Interest Application.
