JGSPBCI SPEAKER'S BUREAU

Chairperson Sylvia Furshman Nusinov

Is your organization, school, religious group, or social club planning to have a Guest Speaker included in the program for a meeting, seminar, workshop or conference?

Keep in mind - genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the world!

TV spots have been highlighting family search and the word continues to spread: Genealogy research “will grow your family tree – leaf by leaf – branch by branch”!

Listed below are JGSPBCI members, all experienced local genealogy lecturers, the latest venues where they have lectured, and popular topics which they have presented at their last several engagements. All of those listed have also lectured innumerable times at JGSPBCI meetings and functions. Although lectures are geared toward Jewish genealogical research, they are also available for presentation in genealogical topics appealing and instructive to secular audiences.

Please contact Speaker’s Bureau Chairperson: Sylvia Furshman Nusinov at sylvia@jgspalmbeachcounty.org for information regarding additional topics, audio/visual needs, honorarium fees (made payable to JGSPBCI), and availability of handouts. Please: do not contact speakers before scheduling, as contract details are maintained by the Chairperson. Thank you.
