Partnership Requests

The Light Collective speaks at medical conferences, hospitals, schools, and educational events. Our members advise in workgroups relating to our mission.

The Light Collective has a Patient Speakers & Advisory Bureau comprised of TLC member organizations.  

In order for The Light Collective to accept an invitation, the convener must agree to the our guidelines:

  • The convener’s event or workgroup must follow foundational expectations for partnership with patient communities.
  • The convener must also follow NHC guidelines for speaker compensation and event costs.
  • We typically book speaking engagements 2-3 months in advance. Conveners must plan and budget accordingly.

Please understand that many of our patient speakers are in high demand. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but reserve the right to decline any request that does not follow our guidelines.
