The Continuing Education courses provide excellent lectures
to participants at Annual Meetings and SOT makes some of the course presentations
available to a wider audience. Outstanding speakers who are SOT members
have been identified based upon course evaluations, and these selected
speakers have agreed to participate in the SOT CE Speaker Bureau. Any
Regional Chapter may request a presenter from the list below for chapter
meetings, and SOT will provide funding to cover the speaker's costs through
Funding for
Regional Chapter Activities and Speakers. Limited funds are available
and these will be allocated as requests are received, so it is important
to put your request in early!
