Our speaker today was our own Carmen Hansen. She shared her insight on the Vucurevich Foundation speaker series process. The speaker series began in 1993 as a way to give to the rest of the community that doesn’t utilize the foundations grants. They have brought incredible speakers to Rapid City such as Carl Sagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Colin Powell to name a few. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $3 for students. They limit the number each person can buy to make it available to more people.
When choosing a speaker they look at current relevance, community interest, and relatability. The board makes final approval. To get more information on upcoming speakers and the John T. Vucurevich Foundation visit jtvf.org or the John T. Vucurevich Foundation facebook page.
