David Paxson has carried the population stabilization message to hundreds of thousands of people in ten states through hundreds of live presentations and media interviews. These include many colleges, universities and high schools, church organizations, service clubs and other special conferences and groups. In addition to hundreds of presentations in communities all across Minnesota, David has spoken dozens of times in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. He has also made speaking trips in Illinois, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado and North Dakota. An active Rotarian, David has spoken to some fifty Rotary Clubs as well as dozens of Lions, Kiwanis, Optimists and other service clubs.
David is available to speak in your community. Many of his trips to other states begin with a local person who arranges a speaking opportunity in that area. Usually other opportunities will open up after the first one is arranged. As a result of these "partnerships", thousands more people learn about the population growth/stabilization issue.
