IPFW Athletics Speakers Bureau

Do you need a speaker for your next non-profit meeting, event or fundraiser?
IPFW has a number of coaches and administrators available to motivate, inspire, educate and entertain your group.

How the Speakers Bureau Works:
If you would like to request an IPFW coach or staff member to speak at your next event, simply fill out the request form.  Your request will then be reviewed and a decision will be made.  You will be notified within three weeks from the date IPFW receives you request.

Click Here to download the Speakers Bureau Request Form.
All requests must be in writing, using this form!
All requests must be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to the event.
We cannot guarantee that a speaker will be available for your event.

Your organization must be non-profit, and must be recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)3.
If you are looking for our speakers to talk at a "for profit" or "fund-raising" activity, we can work with you on an individual basis regarding fees.

Due to NCAA rules, the IPFW Athletics Department may NOT comply with requests from or which will benefit:

• High Schools
• Preparatory schools
• Junior Colleges
• Youth athletics organizations that include prospects OR other organizations that include only young people defined by the NCAA as prospects (young people in grades nine and up who have yet to enroll full-time in a university) or their teachers or coaches.
