“I am pleased to report that we had an excellent Maine Town Meeting at the Margaret Chase Smith Library last week with OAH Distinguished Lecturer Robert Brent Toplin as our featured speaker. The topic of fake news and the role of the media in modern American society proved highly popular. Comments afterward have been very favorable. One man remarked as he left at the end of the day that it had been a “world-class” program.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how very pleased we were to have Dr. Jane Dailey speak at our college. She was a delight to work with and a wonderful lecturer. Thank you for helping to make our event possible!”

“This wonderful program affords us the opportunity to bring to our small campus a nationally known speaker and truly enhance the liberal arts experience of our students. Without this program we would have been unable to afford the cost of bringing a speaker of this rank to our campus.”

“The stellar reputation of the OAH Distinguished Lectureship Program and the warm services we’ve received when I've contacted you are the best advertisements possible for your program. It's the first place I go when we need a speaker for any event.”

"This program does an exceptional job of coordinating and facilitating expert speakers for events. The program is very easy to work with and I would recommend it to anyone hosting an event about history."

"It's an incredibly valuable program, especially as state schools like mine are facing major budget cuts. Access to experts like Dr. Erika Lee is incredibly valuable and might not be within our reach without this program."
