The ROI community includes some of the Jewish world’s most dynamic young people. ROI alumni are often called upon to present their ideas at conferences for Jewish professionals, lay leaders and volunteers. However, since most are at the beginning of their careers, they can rarely afford the expense long-distance travel.

The ROI Speakers’ Bureau provides travel funding for ROI alumni who have been invited to address various groups at Jewish conferences. In addition, the Speakers’ Bureau acts as a resource for Jewish organizations looking for dynamic presenters in specific areas of interest. By helping outstanding innovators spread the word about their expertise, the ROI Speakers' Bureau inspires activism and promotes productivity, while jump-starting creative community-building projects around the world.

ROIers may apply to the Speakers Bureau for funds to subsidize the cost of travel or participation fee to events where they have been invited to share their ideas, projects, and experiences.
