You are doing important work and I predict a bright future for your project. You stated that "although written material is useful for reaching a mass audience, employers will get more out of a talk by a person who stammers describing their experiences and giving advice, than they will get from a brochure." You also described the importance of examples of successful people who stammer. I have met several people in the BSA who fit that description very well. Have you considered making a video presentation that features some short clips of several members in various occupations that could be used by those who go out to give talks. Having the individual there to talk about experiences and answer questions is an ideal situation, both for the person who stammers, and for the employer. But a video could also show a variety of successful people in a variety of occupations.
