Yeah, but according to that article, not all of them are quitting over this and the ones who do may end up losing the cachet that got them the speaking jobs.
Quote:
Mary Anne Rhyne, US director of media relations for Glaxo, said DuBuske is a national speaker for the company, earning about $2,500 per talk. The company picks the topic and content of the talks in the speakers bureau program, she said.
Rhyne said she is not sure whether DuBuske will be as much in demand as a speaker without the prestigious Brigham and Harvard titles.
“A lot of things would go into a decision about that,’’ she said. “Most of all, we’re looking for people who are well respected.’’
