This service is intended to assist member states in identifying and bringing regional speakers to their members at a reasonable cost. PNCFL provides each state organization access to an annual stipend to be used to pay travel expenses and/or fees connected with a PAWS presentation. To nominate a presenter as a PAWS speaker or to request additional information, please email the PNCFL office.
