	Speakers Bureau members may not modify the presentation content, which has evolved over a decade and based on many, many presentations to various audiences. We understand that some volunteers may wish to present different or additional information outside the scope of the Speakers Bureau presentation. However, the goal of this program is to effectively deliver these specific topics and knowledge to the public, as advertised. Therefore, modifying the format is not acceptable, in order to maintain consistency and quality. If you want to do your own thing separately, of course you may, but it cannot be for Speakers Bureau gigs.

To message the group, [https://pbem.link/miplogin in MIP] go to your Contact tab, and compose your message. We strongly suggest including two identifying words at the beginning of your email: '<nowiki/>'''''Speakers Bureau:''' Request for advice''<nowiki/>', instead of simply '<nowiki/>''Request for advice''<nowiki/>'. We have asked the MIP folks to add this as an automatic feature in the system, but it is not currently available.
