<div dir="ltr">Hello Nikki,<div><br></div><div>CCGA is a network of community gardeners as you surely read on our website. We do not have funds available to hire speakers; we gladly welcome speakers willing to donate their time. That said, we are happy to host speakers for workshops, our annual conference, or other events that we may design, but typically we do not offer an honorarium. If your organization is able to honor this, please stay in touch.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your interest in CCGA .</div><div><br></div><div>Lorraine Kells, Co-Chair, CCGA Education Committee</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 5, 2023 at 1:10 PM Liz & Jane - North Branch Natives via Education <<a href="mailto:education@chicagocommunitygardens.org">education@chicagocommunitygardens.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>My name is Nicki Achor and I'm a Landscape Gardener and Project Manager with North Branch Natives, a native plant design and education business based out of Albany Park, Chicago. I'm reaching out to introduce myself and inquire if your organization hosts speakers? We have recently begun to expand our speaking engagements and it looked like your group had plenty of plant-minded people :). I attached a sheet below with more information about me and the types of talks I've given in the past; here's a link to our <a href="https://www.northbranchnatives.com/pages/about" target="_blank">website</a> too so you can get a feel for us. If you're looking to fill a speaker spot for an upcoming meeting and are interested in working with myself and North Branch, please let me know! </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Nicki<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Nicki Achor</div></div><div>219.477.9332</div></div></div></div></div><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><img src="cid:ii_l4hort181" alt="North Branch Natives 3.jpg" width="148" height="111" style="margin-right: 0px;"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><a href="http://www.northbranchnatives.com/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><font color="#38761d">www.northbranchnatives.com</font></a></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
