Honorarium Scale for Chanda Roby

Chanda Roby, Esq. is the chief fundraiser for Rural Education and Leadership Christian Foundation (REAL).  REAL’s mission is to help rural, Christian ministries successfully overcome the challenges of exposure, resources, and structure.  REAL’s goal is for Chanda to speak to, present to, and/or facilitate for as many audiences as possible, not to be limited to just areas in Mississippi but including locations around the nation.  The purpose of REAL’s goal is to educate, inform, and help others be knowledgeable about the needs of those in rural communities in Mississippi, have healthy discussions regarding the same, and if possible, help develop solutions.

REAL uses Chanda’s time to help build REAL’s capacity to carry out REAL’s mission, and we ask for those interested in inviting her to speak, present, or facilitate to please remember that.  However, we are extremely sensitive to the fact that some individuals interested in having Chanda speak, present, or facilitate may not be able to afford the cost and will take those inquiries into consideration on both a limited and case-by case basis. 

Due to limited availability, Chanda unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests and will prioritize requests based on the information provided with each request.  Please anticipate up to two weeks for a response.  Our desire in offering speaking, presenting, and/or facilitating expertise is to build our capacity to reach out to rural Mississippi.
