Mississippi Division
Sons of Confederate Veterans
Speakers List
for Camp Meetings

Many Camps in the MS Division have occasional difficulty finding a speaker for their monthly musters. This is paradoxical, since there are probably over 3000 Confederate history experts in the Division! The Division (and the Camps) are asking that you step forward and make yourself available to speak at Camps in the Division.

You don't have to be a professional! You don't have to put on a 45 minute, state-of-the-art audio-visual tour-de-force! You just have to be willing to share some of your knowledge and expertise with a willing and appreciative audience that you know in advance is already on your side!
If you would like to volunteer as a guest speaker for a camp meeting please submit a form.
