How Do I... Request a Speaker/Presentation?

As part of our mission to provide practical education for building a better future, Extension offers educational programs on a variety of topics. While we offer an array of classes, presentations, workshops and other events both in-person at locations around the county and as online webinars, we understand that you might like something tailored more to your needs. We can help.

You can request one of our experts to speak directly to you and your group. We'll come to your classroom, community room, conference hall or just about anywhere you need us in Sarasota County, or we'll work with you to establish a virtual, online webinar open to your guests anywhere. Speaker availability and minimum group sizes apply. Note that while most of our presentations are free, some do charge a fee to cover the costs of materials and other expenditures.

Start by choosing a category below (view all categories), and then reviewing the available topics and descriptions. Then, once you have identified or narrowed your choice of topic(s), request a speaker/presentation by completing our online form.
