Are you planning an event and looking for a compelling nonprofit speaker to W-O-W your room?
Inviting nonprofit speakers and world-changers who are striving to bring goodness into the world can be a highly effective way to inspire, inform and engage your audience.
I came across the following stats and immediately went into “I must highlight ALL of my amazing colleagues to make this change.”
- Only 32% of speakers are women.
- Only 25% of all technology keynote or stand-alone speakers are women (*Ensono 2018).
I’m privileged to know some of the most amazing female nonprofit speakers in the sector, too.
Here’s a list of motivational speakers for nonprofits and thought leaders who are movin’ and shakin’ up the nonprofit world. They’re inspiring organizations to think differently, think boldly, and take action!
