New responsibilities with an important question
9 years ago
General
I'm now the events coordinator for my school's Secular Student Alliance...which has a current total membership of 5. That is unacceptable. I'm planning on inviting certain people to speak to the school to generate interest. The current list is as follows:
AronRa
Adam Savage
James Hyneman
Bill Nye
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Richard Dawkins
Lawrence Krauss
Elon Musk
Bill Maher
Can anyone think of others who I should try to get? I know that most of the people on that list are busy, and I'll be lucky if one (outside AronRa who's already said he'll come) actually follows up with me. I want to increase our membership at least twenty-fold, and the best way to do that is to hold events that will put us in the spotlight. The trouble comes from the fact that most people who I could think of are too obscure or too busy/popular to be able to attend. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Daniel Dennett (philosopher)
Ann Druyan could be a possibility, too. (Carl Sagan's wife)
There are few from Big Think on YouTube. one of them is a comedian... Jim Gaffigan is who I am thinking of
I feel like Bill Maher might be a bit blunt depending who your target audience is.
