The American Cichlid Association believes the greatest asset to an aquarium society is the benefit received by the membership when a speaker gives a lecture at the monthly meeting. A live presentation by a speaker at a local meeting adds immensely to the enjoyment of the hobby and to further the knowledge of the attendees. The ACA, realizing the financial cost of bringing in an outside speaker, is proud to offer to our members the ACA Cichlid Speaker Program, now sponsored by ZooMed Labs and AquaScience Research Group, Inc..
Basically, here's how the program works. Choose your speaker from the list of ACA sponsored speakers. There will be no cost for the club for honorariums and the ACA will pay half of the round trip transportation for any of these speakers to attend your meeting with a maximum dollar amount of $200.00. You will be responsible for all additional expenses including lodging and meals.
After selecting your speaker you will need to contact them directly to arrange a convenient schedule. Once the date has been finalized, please contact Chuck Rambo, 6474 Baguio Court, San Jose, CA 95119, 408-225-9175. It is imperative to get in touch with Chuck because the ACA has set a limit of 10 total speaking engagements per year for the ACA Cichlid Speaker Program. Availability is based on a first come-first serve basis and a 90 day notice is required.
Transportation for the speaker should be arranged by you. After receiving permission to proceed from Chuck, you should submit a copy of your invoice for the reimbursement of travel expenses. Chuck must also be notified of a mailing address for the shipment of ACA material. ACA material includes brochures, membership applications and copies of Buntbarsche Bulletin, the official publication of the ACA. All societies are limited to one annual participation.
