[Genealib] rates of genealogy workshop

[Elaine Hayes]

While looking for something else I ran across this discussion of
Genealogy speaker fees at Ken Aitken's genealogy blog at
http://genealogyeducation.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/speaker-fees/  It
discusses the logic behind how you set your fees and gives several
examples about what others are charging.

The Georgia Genealogical Society usually pays professional and 
nationally known speakers $200 per lecture which are usually  an hour
or 
so.  They usually give 4 lectures in the day they are here.  We cover 
the hotel and airfare, but they have to make the flight arrangements
way 
in advance.  We make the copies of the handouts to help control those 
costs.  Our program meetings are 4 times a year and for 2 of those we 
bring in such speakers.  We usually pay non-professional local (meaning

Georgia) speakers $50 per lecture.

For the December meeting, which is elections and annual meeting, we
have 
had the last few years a local professional who does one program for 
about an hour and that rate has been $200.
