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:
