BE A SPEAKER
Inspire the Leaders of Tomorrow – Be a Speaker
Virtual & in-person opportunities are available.
Being a Washington Business Week speaker is a great way to make an impact on the future leaders of tomorrow. Share your experience and expertise with high school students who are eager to learn. Topics can range from entrepreneurship, leadership, marketing, and team dynamics to brainstorming, ethics, fiscal responsibility, and more. Inspire students with your stories of success, teamwork, leadership, and lessons learned.
If speaking is your passion, come share it with the leaders of the future. Please fill out our Volunteer Form if you are interested in speaking to our students! Being selected as a WBW speaker is a competitive process. The WBW team looks forward to learning about you.
Our programs in 2023 will be in-person and virtual. Our virtual speakers will use Zoom to deliver their message to our students. We recommend speakers be familiar with this platform and as interactive as possible. The in-person speakers will come to the campus of the Renton Technical College.
Questions? Please contact Gena, Executive Director with questions and/or to discuss this awesome volunteer opportunity.

For the time that I have been at Business Week I have grown as a person. From the motivational speakers I learned to engage in new and more activities, open my eyes to new people, ideas and education. Business Week has taught me to take advantage of my time and make the best of my day. Also to put effort and enthusiasm in all that I do.
