I would like to ask this community for some help. I have been bestowed with the responsibility of finding a suitable keynote speaker for my university's Greek Week contest. We always have a speaker come and they usually talk about sexual harassment or hazing, but this year, we would like the speaker's platform to be on leadership, and I immediately knew that I would do everything in my power to have a veteran become our speaker. Who better to speak on leadership than those who have had to be leaders in the most austere environments? However, this is not a top 25 school, and we do not have the budget those schools have. I have not been given a budget as a set date has not been set yet, but it is highly likely that it will be below $15,000 and around mid April.
I have done some searching, but the only former military speakers that I have found are all generals that cost a whole lot more than $15,000. I have also contacted Dakota Meyer and Brandon Webb and am currently waiting to be contacted by their "people", but I'm not exactly holding my breath on those. With the unique veteran community here, I was hoping some of the members may know of some veteran speakers that I may be unknowingly overlooking. If anyone here could help, their assistance would be greatly appreciated.
