Successful Sessions Start with You

TMHRA welcomes proposals to speak at our events. Attendees at our events have provided overwhelmingly positive feedback on our past speakers and topics, and we look forward to this trend continuing for our future events. Over the years, many of these speakers have become valuable resources for the professionals attending the events, just as attendees may become resources for the speakers.
Although TMHRA may receive several proposals throughout the year, the TMHRA Board and Program Committee must determine which presenters and topics will fit the event themes and goals. If you have an interesting or exciting topic relevant to the Human Resources profession and are passionate about speaking to professionals who can glean meaningful information from your field of knowledge, please submit your proposal using the form below.
Speaker Fees
TMHRA generally does not pay speakers for the sessions since we believe the audience’s size and decision-making authority provides an outstanding opportunity to increase the speaker’s visibility and establish valuable contacts with a targeted HR audience. However, please enter the amount in the form below, if a speaker fee is required.
