We can present one of our popular topics or prepare something of particular interest to your group that relates to BBB's work. BBB can also distribute free educational brochures pertaining to your topic of interest.
Some of BBB's Most Popular Speaking Topics include:
- BBB 101: Nationally, BBB has been around for more than 100 years aiding people in making wise buying decisions. Learn all about BBB's history, free services offered to consumers, and businesses and how to use our website and services.
- Older Adults Series: Nationwide, scams against older adults generate billions of dollars each year for criminals. Older adults are often targets of scam artists because they generally are more trusting of others and perceived to be easier to persuade. Knowledge is the best defense against these crimes. This program will not only teach you how to spot and avoid scams, but also offers resources that you can turn to if you do become a victim.
- Giving Wisely to Charities: During this educational session, a BBB representative will discuss how to choose a trustworthy charity and avoid losing your hard-earned money to a fraudulent charity or scam.
- BBB Military Line: Our military members, veterans, and their families are targeted by scammers due to their unique lifestyles. During this presentation, the free services of BBB Military Line will be discussed, along with the most common scams targeting military and how to identify them.
- In Pursuit of Ethics: IPoE is an interactive, discussion-based program designed to stimulate honest, fair behavior. The program uses a unique approach where complex real-life situations are presented in an entertaining way. The classes include both videos and discussions about real-life ethical dilemmas. The audience makes the decisions and selects the direction of the program. IPoE can be taught at both businesses and in schools.
Other popular topics that can be presented or combined with other topics include:
- Scams Targeting Businesses
- Ethics in Business
Additional topics are also available upon request.
Presentations usually last approximately 30-45 minutes and may be followed with a question and answer session. There is no charge for this service.
