Hot Speakers For 2005
Sure Fire Speaker Hits for The Coming Year

Looking for timely ideas for 2005 events? Read on for some of our best ideas for the coming year.

Dr. Richard Heinzl: Opportunities and Hope in a Borderless World. Recent events have been a powerful reminder that national borders are often meaningless and that shared humanity is the one thing that truly binds us all together and gives us hope. There is no one better able to speak on these important ideas than Dr. Richard Heinzl, founder of Doctors Without Borders, Canada. Dr. Heinzl founded the Canadian chapter of this Nobel Prize-winning organization while still a medical student, was its first field volunteer, and since then has spent months working to alleviate suffering and bring hope to people in some of the most challenging humanitarian crises. His message is one of optimism and hope, and he argues that real solutions to major problems can and are being found. He also encourages his listeners to think about what contribution they can make to the opportunities offered by a borderless world.
