Speakers’ Network

For over 20 years, Leonardohas been the forum for innovators in the dialogue between the arts and sciences. Now we are proud to introduce the San Francisco Bay Area Speakers' Network , a project sponsored by the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (ISAST). The society's goal is to help set up speaking engagements for visiting artists , researchers and scholars with interested community groups and institutions . We hope to provide a service to the community by bringing the dialogue of art and science to a broader audience and by offering artists and scientists a platform from which they can make their work known in the San Francisco Bay Area. Leonardoauthors, editors, coeditors and winners of the society's two annual awards are invited to participate in the Speakers' Network. All prospective speakers should contact ISAST to supply and update pertinent information, including name, address, telephone number, fax number , e-mail address, honorarium fee, lecture topic(s) and the volume(s) of Leonardoin which their work has been published. ISAST should also be advised whenever travel to the Bay Area is planned. In turn, the society will distribute the speakers' topics and resumes to Bay Area arts and academic institutions. Further promotion and outreach will be broadcast through the F.A.ST. (Fine Art, Science and Technology) Electronic Bulletin Board. Speaking engagements will then be coordinated by speakers and host institutions. ISAST encourages participation by contributing $100 toward each speaker's honorarium. All Bay Area arts and education groups and institutions are encouraged to join this unique program and increase their memberships' access to the latest ideas and innovations in the interaction between the arts and sciences. Please contact ISAST for registration and additional information. The following is a listing of authors, artists, scientists and scholars who are currently within the Speakers' Network. To arrange speaking engagements, contact each speaker directly at the address given. Upon completion of a speaking engagement , please send ISAST an institutionalletter confirming the participation of our speaker. We will then send our contribution to the speaker's honorarium directly to the speaker. Co-sponsorship with other institutions should also be considered when arranging engagements with non-U.S. speakers. Bill Bell 56 Perry Street Brookline, MA 02146 U.S.A.
