Book TAI Speakers

Are you interested in having a speaker from the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. speak at your school, conference, or event? Direct your inquiry to melpayne1@comcast.net and/or you may complete the GPCTAI speaker request form.

Greater Philadelphia Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. (GPCTAI) Speaker Bureau is available year-round to schools, groups and civic organizations and businesses sharing the history, successes, and inspirations of the Tuskegee Airmen and women support personnel known as the Greater Philadelphia Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.

We ask that requests for speaker(s), appearances, or presentation(s) be submitted a minimum of two (2) months in advance of the event date to GPCTAI. February is a very busy period, earlier submissions (3-6 months) are required for that month. Although GPCTAI does not charge a standard speaker/presentation fee, it is requested that a donation and an honorarium be donated to GPCTAI and travel, lodging, and per diem expenses be provided for events outside the individual’s commuting area.

The GPCTAI Speakers Bureau accepts numerous requests to speak to schools and civic organizations nationwide, sharing the history of the African American aviators and support personnel that were trained from 1941-1949. Unfortunately, we frequently cannot honor requests for specific Greater Philadelphia Chapter Tuskegee Airman Speakers, nor can we honor requests for lists of chapter member names/addresses, names of original Tuskegee Airmen, Tuskegee Airman Autographs, memorabilia, or photos.

Due to the number of inquiries, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
