History Alive! and Speakers Bureau programs are available to Kansas non-profits who

  • anticipate an adult, out-of school audience of at least 20 at their event, and
  • will report their volunteer services and complete an evaluation report.

Non-profits are limited to two History Alive! and two Speakers Bureau programs per calendar year at regular booking fees. Additional programs can be booked at full cost. Call to discuss fees.

History Alive! and Speakers Bureau programs are available to for-profits, colleges, and universities (but not for classroom use) who

  • pay fees covering program costs, and
  • will complete a short evaluation report.

History Alive! booking fees are

  • $125 non-profit regular
  • $300 non-profit conference/with admission/fundraiser

To book a character, follow these steps:

  1. CONTACT the speaker directly. Speakers will travel statewide, unless they specify limitations. CONFIRM the date, time and location, then discuss program length allowing time for questions and discussion (usually 40-60 minutes total).

  2. PRINT out a copy of our booking request form and mail/fax to KHC. To qualify for regular fee, form must be received at least 5 weeks before the program date.

  3. RUNNING LATE? KHC will accept late requests 3-4 weeks before program with a $25 late fee.

  4. WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION. KHC responds to regular requests by mail within 2 weeks. Late requests receive a phone call of confirmation within 2 days. KHC will send a photograph and biography of your speaker to use in publicity.

  5. ANNOUNCE KHC sponsorship in all publicity and at the program.

  6. Then after the program, COMPLETE a short evaluation form and simple report of volunteer services. KHC pays directly to speaker his/her honorarium and travel.
