The following list of Speakers and Performers is based upon the recommendations of Alliance Francaise chapters across the country sharing their cultural resources and successful programs. By choosing from this list of geographically convenient speakers and performers, these programs should become available to you at a modest cost. Anyone who wishes to engage one of the programs on this list must simply contact that speaker or performer directly. You and that performer will then directly work together on all arrangements for the program, including the scheduling, payment of fees, travel etc. The Federation will have no involvement with your arrangements with the performer.

Please contact Alexandra Stafford, Cultural Offerings Chair, at eas401@aol.com if you would like to nominate a presentation, have questions, or need more information.
