The Air Force sends a speaker to an event to create dialogue with local organizations and give them an insight into Air Force roles, mission, overall capabilities and the Airmen who make up the Air Force.
Policy:
- Any organization, group or individual can request an Air Force speaker. This includes community groups, business organizations, industry associations, as well as schools of all levels.
- We are restricted from participating in fundraising events and political activities.
- Once we provide a speaker, all outstanding arrangements must be made between the organization and the guest speaker.
- If the speaker must cancel, the organization is responsible for contacting Shaw Public Affairs to re-submit a request.
Requesting a speaker for an event:
- Public Affairs must receive a completed speaker request form at least two to four weeks prior to the event.
- Speaker requests will not be approved/coordinated until a completed speaker request form is received.
- If Public Affairs hasn't confirmed receiving your request within a week of submission, please follow up by phone, (803) 895-2023, or by email, 20fwpublicaffairs@us.af.mil. Sending/receiving a request does not confirm a speaker for your event.
- SHAW RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL A SCHEDULED SPEAKER AT ANY TIME DUE TO MISSION REQUIREMENTS.
