Carmel, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2016 -- MPSF Speaker Series has announced its exciting 2016-2017-speaker line-up to a subscriber community of over 8500 Bay Area citizens. Continuing in the Speaker Series tradition, the speakers this year have been selected to showcase a wide range of ideas, opinion and perspective.
“MPSF is pleased to present eight compelling speakers who rated high on our Speaker Preference Survey for the events at our Bay Area venues in 2016-2017. While the 2015-2016 season was noted for lesser known, very interesting speakers who received almost universal support from our four audiences, 2016-2017 will bring to our stages a better known group of outstanding communicators and a diversity of topics unequalled in our 27 year history.”
The 2016-2017 Series will feature a former Secretary of State, a political commentator and analyst, and a presidential historian, who will all have their perspective of the upcoming election and its ramifications. Then turning from politics, our audience will hear from an environmentalist expert on the Arctic, a woman activist advocating for change in the Muslim religious world, a well-known actor/director now working in science education and women’s rights, one of the most popular humorists of our time, and a New York Times best-selling author addressing the world of finance, sports and current events.
Subscriptions for the 2016-2017 Speaker Series are available online now at http://www.speakerseries.net. Pricing includes all eight speakers at one of three venues: Marin Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael, The Paramount Theater in Oakland, and the San Mateo Performing Arts Center in San Mateo.
