About Professional Speaker Services

Lisa Pemberton works with meeting planners who want qualified speakers for their meetings and events. She founded Professional Speaker Services in 2005 after working in the meetings industry for five years. After attending an ASAE National Conference in Hawaii, she had a greater understanding of the life of an association meeting planner and got the bug to work with meeting planners is a greater capacity. Now she has "the best of both worlds." She works with professional speakers who want to secure more bookings and with meeting planners as a member of their team when it comes to hiring speakers. Her primary goal is to bring meeting planners and speakers together for maximum results.

Lisa is the First Vice President for Hannibal's Business and Professional Women local organization. In 2005, she completed a course on coaching and informally coaches a small number of people; both personally and professionally. In her free time, Lisa spends time with her family; husband - Brad, children - Brandon and Lyndsay, pets - Honey and Coco, along with extended family and friends.
