Speakers Fee

The speaker's fee or “stipend” is waived. You can very easily book Dave for FREE!

Additional Expenses
The host is responsible for all travel expenses, which include booking airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, meals and incidentals. Dave travels pretty simply at this stage of his life, understanding economic realities and such, as well, so he's very willing to work with you on the itinerary.

Audio and Video Taping of Appearances
Permission really must be received from Dave prior to an event to audio or videotape at his presentation and if recorded, a quality copy must be given to him. No planting of any video or audio on YouTube type sites or Blogs, please, without Dave's permission. Please work with me on this one!

Contract
Dave works with very minimal paperwork. A contract in the form of an e-mail will be sent to the host to ensure that the needs of both parties are understood. That's it.

Payment Terms
A small retainer fee is collected by Dave at the time he's booked for an event. This deposit simply guarantees the date is reserved on Dave's Calendar and ultimately goes toward future travel expenses to the event. It is not a hidden, "what's this?" fee.

Cancellation Policy
In the event of a cancellation by the host, the retainer fee will be forfeited, though Dave is not unreasonable and will always work with you.

 


Christ's refusal to be scandalized...
Of the sinful woman who bathes his feet, Jesus says, "Her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love." Christ's refusal to be scandalized by our sins is what gives us the courage not to be either. Rather, we revel in the recreating effect of mercy. As Saint Paul puts it, "By the grace of God I am what I am." – Magnificat, September 2008, p. 264.


The Present as a Gift...
So much suffering comes from disappointment. We wait for something which we believe will bring us happiness, and it does not arrive. We see only the negative things that have come our way - illness, a child with a handicap - and we close up in anger and rebellion. Human wisdom means coming back down to earth; not closing ourselves up in a beautiful ideal which we must attain, but welcoming reality just as it is; discovering God present in reality; not struggling against reality, but working with it; discovering the seed of life, the possibilities hidden in it. Of course we must have a vision for the future and focus on it, we must have a plan, and be aware of and responsible for the future, but our hope and vision must be rooted in the present. This is true wisdom - to discover God in the present moment, to be a friend of time and of reality.
- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, pp 165-166




Dave is in full communion and in good standing with the Catholic Church.
