About Speaking Engagements
Capacity Concepts, Inc., can provide topics for your convention, retreat, board meeting, or membership at a nominal cost.
In order to meet the need of your particular interest, and realizing that not all non-profits are alike or financially comfortable, we tailor our fee to your taste and budget. We are in the business to educate, inform and help, not to get rich. The exception is overnight stay when accommodation is required and/or necessary. In Alabama, Mobile or Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is considered overnight regardless of the event. Atlanta, Georgia or surrounding area is considered a day-trip unless it is a multi-day event. All other out of state (Alabama) travel is considered overnight and travel expense will be required.
