- Do you know of some wonderful speakers/ trainers/ instructors appropriate for LEAD Maryland curriculum topics? We are creating a data base of speakers to present on various topics, such as public speaking, the art of testifying, business ettiquette. Sometimes our speaker of choice is not available or has an emergency and we would like to have a base from which to refer to for highly qualified speakers to address topics for LEAD seminars and for alumni educational workshops. Please contact Debbie Stanley at debstan@umd.edu if you have any suggestions.
