Description

The Neurodiversity Alliance’s Speakers bureau is an opportunity for current and former participants across our programs to tell their story on a virtual or in-person stage to increase awareness of The Neurodiversity Alliance’s mission and impact, highlight the diversity of neurodivergent lived experiences, and showcase the power of advocacy by speaking on behalf of the organization.

We are looking for current and former participants across Eye to Eye and The Neurodiversity Alliance programs with an interest in sharing their stories and amplifying the stories of others from the ND community through public speaking, media interviews, and event appearances.

Public Speaking Ambassadors will work alongside ND Alliance national staff mentors to speak at virtual and in person engagements and represent The Neurodiversity Alliance in various media interviews and appearances, with or without staff joining them. This could range from a panel with other students,  giving a presentation on stage for a keynote or on Zoom for a webinar, attending events on behalf of ND Alliance, or being part of a conference workshop alongside our staff.

Public Speaking Ambassadors will be provided with a list of opportunities to sign-up for throughout the year based on their interest and availability.  Public Speaking Ambassadors are expected to sign-up for a minimum of one engagement or interview per quarter to remain in the program.

Given the real time nature of speaking engagement and interview bookings, we can make no guarantee to Ambassadors on the amount, timing, or focus of speaking engagements or interviews they may be asked to participate in and we require Ambassadors to have flexibility in their scheduling to be able to attend such events with a few weeks notice.  Ambassadors will receive training and coaching to develop their public speaking and interviewing skills and prepare slide decks or other materials required for speaking engagements or interviews.

Qualifications

• Passion for the mission, vision, and goals of The Neurodiversity Alliance with a commitment to inclusive collaboration that prioritizes and incorporates diversity and equity.
• Experience, expertise, or passion for growing in public speaking, public relations, communications or marketing including speeches, presentations, panels, or other forms of storytelling.
• Comfortability traveling independently across the country for events, including taking flights, ordering rideshares, checking into hotels, and arriving to events on time.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and comfortability with being a public face and ambassador for The Neurodiversity Alliance at various conferences and events.
• Comfortability traveling independently and interacting with diverse audiences, and strong executive functioning skills to manage complex logistics and scheduling.

Commitment & Compensation

• Public Speaking Ambassadors are required to attend one monthly 60-minute virtual meeting (exact day/time to be determined based on participant availability), and dedicate up to 5 additional hours to trainings and other meetings per month.
• Public Speaking Ambassadors receive a monthly leadership stipend of $100, paid on the last day of each month.
• Public Speaking Ambassadors have the opportunity to earn additional compensation on a per appearance basis for virtual and in-person speaking engagements:

• $100 for a virtual speaking engagement or interview (includes preparation and debrief calls)
• $250 for an in-person speaking engagement or interview, plus all travel expenses (includes preparation and debrief calls)
