Speakers Bureau

The COS Speakers Bureau is offered as a free service to our local community. All speakers are current or retired COS employees who volunteer to share an interest or expertise with local organizations or clubs. Most speakers are prepared to make a presentation of ½ to one hour. The speakers should be contacted directly via their email address. If assistance is needed please contact the COS Library at (530) 938-5331 library@siskiyous.edu
