Jill, you may want to clarify if Joel's expertise is in conservation of historic cultural material/objects, or in conservation of natural/animal/plant resources. It is unfortunate that the same term is used for both.

Hi everyone....
As a museum educator at a university museum, I have the opportunity to meet many interesting people. and sometimes you meet people who are just so good. So, I thought I would pass along this information, in case you are in need of a speaker/program.
Not long ago I had the great fortune to meet and work with Joel Sartore, a National Geographic photographer who is deeply involved with conservation through his beautiful photographs. He was a guest speaker at our museum (to amplify an exhibit of his work) and he was outstanding! So professional, down to earth, funny and fun, he was a huge success and drew a full house for our auditorium. I can absolutely recommend Joel, he is a delight.
To invite Joel Sartore to our museum, we contacted his studio directly (in Nebraska) and worked with his assistant who is extremely professional and easy to work with.
(Joel recently posted a TED talk —http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHf-Pft_5Bs— if you want to learn more, a blend of humor and serious passion....)
Sometimes you don't know what you are getting in a speaker, and/or, sometimes you need some ideas and suggestions for people/programs and I wanted to share this.
Contact me directly if you have questions, etc.
All best,
Jill
