What is Julie's availability?
She maintains an active speaking schedule and is available on a limited basis to speak or teach at your conference or event on a Friday evening, Saturday morning and afternoon returning home Saturday evening. She strongly believes in the ministry to her family and local church so Julie is not always available for Sunday activities. Some flexibility is possible, so please ask if you have a special need.
Travel Information
When traveling out of the area, she flies in and out of Kansas City International Airport in Kansas City, Missouri and prefers non-stop flights to and from her destination. Upon arrival, she will need transportation to and from the airport and venue. She asks that a woman from your church or organization pick her up and drop her off.
Lodging
When lodging is required, she would like a private, non-smoking room at the hotel or conference center to prepare for your conference.
Who is responsible for expenses?
The host church or organization is responsible for all travel expenses and lodging. We request that these arrangements be made in communication with our office.
Does Julie use PowerPoint?
Yes! Julie uses PowerPoint and notes in her teaching. We will arrange to have the PowerPoint presentation and notes for the selected conference topics emailed to you at least two weeks prior to your event to allow you time to assemble binders or incorporate notes into your materials. Please let us know ahead of time if you will not be using PowerPoint as it makes a difference in the package we send you.
Please go to our Seminar and Teaching Topics page for more information on what women seek to learn more to help themselves or others.
Books and Materials
If you will be having a bookstore at your conference and would like Julie’s books and materials, please contact us by email to arrange titles and number of books well in advance. Transporting a small number of books on the plane is possible; however large numbers will have to be shipped. If you would like suggestions on authors and titles specific to your conference, she will be happy to consult with you.
Speaking Fees
We understand that many smaller churches are prevented from obtaining speakers who require large numbers of attendees for conferences, and many who desire to attend conferences cannot afford the fees. We desire to make this teaching and information attainable for everyone; therefore at this time Julie does not have a set honorarium or fee for speaking. She trusts that your church or organization will offer what you can righteously afford. If it is more, thank you- and if it is less we trust that you are doing what you can and thank you for your sacrificial generosity.
If these terms and guidelines are acceptable, then we invite you to contact us to set up your conference or retreat event.
Thank you for your interest and consideration in having Julie speak. May the Lord bless your ministry to His women.
