If you are going to attend NACA virtual conferences this fall, check out our showcases. Monti Washington's "Which Lives Matter," http://ciaspeakers.com/home/?p=1996, Dr. Julia Garcia's "Give a Dose with Dr. J,http://ciaspeakers.com/home/?p=2967 and "Show Me Democracy." http://ciaspeakers.com/home/?p=2333

While nothing will replace the energy and excitement of in-person events, we all need to be creative during these uncertain times. Virtual events are a great option that offers many benefits while practicing healthy social distancing.

We hope you are staying healthy and safe. In anticipation of things improving by the Fall, we wanted to let you know of our new programming options for some of our most popular programs.

Our standard-format in-person programs will be available when it is determined to be safe for everyone to gather in numbers again. Until then, we will work with you to determine the best alternative format to best fit your needs. Just let us know what topics or individuals you are interested in and we will provide options tailored to you. Stay well, stay safe.

A comment from a school that saw Monti Washington showcase at NACA/Dallas: "I appreciate everything you do to help us deliver the best lectures. You by far bring the best to the conference each year."

A review from Rick Shenkman's program "Your Brain On Politics? Comments &
Rick was great to work with. He is very personable and passionate about his topic. He is able to deal with audience members who may challenge him in an aggressive manner with great ease. I have had him on campus several times and would certainly do it again. Jayne at Contemporary Issues Agency is also amazing to work with. We have brought many of their speakers and have always had a positive experience.

Julia Garcia does it again: "Julia was AMAZING!! Her presentation was honest, raw, relevant, and POWERFUL. Students are still talking about the impact it has had on them personally. I have heard students say how nervous they were about standing up in front of their peers to identify various life experiences, traumas, and difficulties, only to be shocked and comforted by the number of their peers standing with them. Julia touched them at their core and helped them to see they are not alone and that they can stay true to their path, no matter what pulls at them or what obstacles they have faced. She was truly awesome and we are so grateful to have had her come to our campus!"

Contemporary Issues Agency updated their phone number.

To kick off the semester, this is from Penn State, Erie about one of Monti Washington's programs, Which Lives Matter. He also presents Diversity University and From the Streets to the stage. "Just wanted to thank you for helping us bring Monti Washington to campus. His presentation was outstanding. He truly gave us all of himself--fully
committed to engaging the audience and sharing his message . The conversation went from very deep to funny and lighthearted.
Our students were delighted by what he had to say and his style. Our administrators, faculty, and staff appreciated the important advice he shared with students. I personally appreciated his flexibility, positive
attitude, and good nature. He took the time to meet with our students after his presentation for a meaningful Q & A and
discussion--without seeming rushed or bothered due to the fact that he had
to be on his way to Cleveland that evening."
