SPEAKERS BUREAU
The Henry Ford Heritage Association is proud to offer our speakers bureau to your group or audience. Henry Ford’s interests and activities went well beyond his automobiles and we have several members with the expertise to provide informative talks on a wide range of subjects related to his life and accomplishments.
Our speakers are available for a modest tax deductible contribution to the association. All of our presentations include a copy of our introductory newsletter for each member of your audience. Some of our speaker’s profiles are included here.
For more information on how the Henry Ford Heritage Association can provide an informative talk tailored to your audience please contact us at hfha@hfha.org and a member of our speakers bureau will be in touch!

Todd Bryan - Chairman
I was born and raised in the Grand Rapids area and came to SE Michigan to work at GM in 1985. In 1992 I came over to the Blue Oval and was hired in permanently in 1994. I have been married to my wonderful wife Victoria for 17 years and have two beautiful daughters, Martha and Josephine. I sit on the council of the Dearborn First United Methodist Church and am the (soon-to-be former!) treasurer of the Dearborn Recreation Dolphins swim club. I love history, visiting museums, motorsports, camping, motorcycling, and reading.
