Our Contribution to U.S. Economic Stimulus
Written by Jeff Thredgold, CSP, President, Thredgold Economic Associates
|
In an effort to do our part to stimulate today’s struggling economy, we are announcing a temporary speaking fee reduction, effective immediately:
• Speaking fee is temporarily reduced from $12,500 to $10,000 for up to 90 minutes…$11,500 for one-half day
• Airfare is still guaranteed not to exceed $950 within the continental U.S.
• Millions of Americans are hurting. Recognizing this fact, speaking engagements booked at this lower fee will qualify for a $1,000 contribution from Thredgold Economic Associates to the charity of your choice. This would also apply to bookings through speakers bureaus
• Fee includes up to 100 copies of econAmerica (retail value: $2,495) and up to 500 copies of On The One Hand…The Economist’s Joke Book (retail value: $4,250)
Please note that we have added an additional presentation title:
“Emerging From Recession Stronger Than Ever!”
This presentation includes an up-to-the-minute and entertaining discussion of the economy and financial markets, as well as valuable tips to help your company survive and thrive as the recession ends. Discussion includes gaining market share, attracting talented people, and recognizing that We Will Get Through This!
I would love to speak for your company or association.
