Karen,
In the beginning it was our PR/Marketing person but with consensus  
from other staff and the bosses.  Then it became the Director and this  
year it was our Education Coordinator.  We all throw out ideas of  
people that would be good and also make sure that we have a variety of  
topics.  We have started to gather people for next yearss lectures as  
well.  I would recommend talking to any volunteers who might be  
involved in civic clubs.  For example one of my volunteers is active  
in Rotary and they have speakers all the time so he and I swap ideas  
for speakers for each others lectures.
