Jason,

If you've found a speaker with a great topic, but she or he has not done 
speaking for a general audience, you can direct them to an AAAS webinar, 
"Developing Your Message: A Guide for Scientists".  It is pretty 
specific about tailoring a talk to a general audience, but also gives 
guidelines useful for anyone who has to communicate with the public.

This is what I wish to create.  I have lots of questions...usually do.  Anyway, I would love to talk with others who have created such a program and/or those who are currently running an evening lecture series at their science center/museum.   I have question such as:
