2025 Emcee and Speaking Appearances

The Anderson County Historical Society

Spoke to the group about my family's impact on the region , the Southeast and the nation, going back to the early 1600s.

• I recently had Jim Harris speak to our local Historical Society... I have found Jim to be very knowledgeable in a broad variety of fields. When he spoke to our Historical group everyone was very much into his vast knowledge of our area. When his presentation was finished no one was ready to leave & a number were asking questions. If your group is in need of a speaker, my recommendation is to call Mr Harris first. You won’t be sorry.  Furman Beck

• I've had the opportunity to hear Jim Harris speak on several occasions and I have enjoyed both his speaking and business development workshops.

He has a natural ability to engage an audience and because of his professional experience, he's able to pull from a world of knowledge that reflects a unique, refreshing perspective.
