The Joint Commission Speakers Bureau offers qualified speakers on a variety of topics related to Joint Commission accreditation, performance measurement and quality improvement.
How to schedule a speaker
To request a speaker, complete the Speaker Request Form.
The Joint Commission will make every effort to fill speaker requests with the most qualified individual. The request may be forwarded to Joint Commission Resources (JCR) based on the topic and length of presentation. JCR is an affiliate of The Joint Commission.
After a speaker has been confirmed, he or she will work directly with the requestor to develop a presentation targeted to the particular audience. Please do not list a speaker in promotional material until confirmation from The Joint Commission has been received.
How far in advance to request a speaker
For us to match the best speaker with the program, we recommend that you contact The Joint Commission as early as possible -- at least eight weeks prior to the scheduled event.
Speaker fees
The requesting organization is asked to pay an honorarium. The amount of the honorarium is based on the speaker's level in the organization, and the required preparation time. The requesting organization is also asked to reimburse The Joint Commission for the speaker's travel, meals and lodging expenses.
