Thanks so much. LeDerick Horne is great. We have had him in the past but he has upped his fee to $7K plus expenses which is much more than we can afford or are willing to pay. I know Jonathan well. We worked together for years, but we are looking for a person with a disability for these two particular openings. We have a variety of folks of course presenting within the form.
I do appreciate everyone’s suggestions!

Lederick Horne is a great speaker for youth. www.lederick.com (he may be pricier)
I think Jonathan Martinis might be good too (xxxxxx@law.syr.edu)
Both live in the Eastern part of U.S.

We are looking for good speakers (preferably young people with disabilities) to give our opening and graduation remarks (share their stories) etc. at this year’s YLF. One of our great speakers is unfortunately hospitalized. Another has upped his asking price to $7K plus expenses which I really can’t justify. If anyone has any recommendations for good speakers who are reasonably priced (up to $2500 + expenses), I would greatly appreciate your sharing their contact info and your experience. Heidi
