Speaker Series
The Open Book Society Speaker Series
Open Book Society Members get to participate in a unique learning experience through the Open Book Society Speaker Series. Each event has a “book club” format where Members can join local civic leaders in a discussion of a wide range of topics while also finding connections of those topics to adult literacy and adult education.
The Open Book Society Speaker Series embraces the idea that we can all increase our literacy in many areas. Events include a featured speaker who will join Literacy Alliance President & CEO, Marcus Haile, in a “fireside chat” about their topic and its relevance to the Literacy Alliance’s mission. Speakers will also highlight their favorite book that is meaningful to their topic. Each featured speaker is charged with sharing their story, discussing a topic of their interest, and connecting that topic (whatever it is) with adult literacy and adult education.
