As summer draws near, many organizations begin planning programs that educate, inspire, and bring people together. At the Hartelius Law Center, we are now scheduling summer speaking engagements for companies, camps, nonprofits, civic groups, and community organizations across Montana and beyond. With more than fifty years of courtroom experience and public leadership, Channing J. Hartelius offers a distinctive combination of historical depth, legal insight, and practical wisdom tailored to a wide range of audiences.
A Unique and Engaging Historical Experience
One of our most popular presentations features Channing presenting important details on George Washington. This program brings to life the leadership, character, and civic values of our nation’s first president—an especially meaningful topic as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. The presentation blends storytelling, historical interpretation, and reflection on the principles that continue to influence our democracy today. Whether for youth programs, adult audiences, or special community events, this engaging experience captivates participants and encourages thoughtful discussion.
Leadership, Communication, and Civic Responsibility
In addition to historical presentations, Channing offers a variety of programs focused on leadership development, communication strategies, civic responsibility, and organizational strength. Drawing on decades of work in mediation, courtroom advocacy, and public service, he provides practical tools that audiences can apply immediately. These sessions are well suited for professional groups, staff trainings, board retreats, and community workshops.
Each talk emphasizes clarity, integrity, and the importance of effective engagement—qualities essential to building strong organizations and communities. Channing’s ability to connect historical themes with modern challenges helps participants see how timeless principles can guide thoughtful decision-making today.

Whether speaking to students at a summer camp, employees in a corporate setting, or members of a civic or nonprofit organization, Channing works with you to shape a program that aligns with your objectives.
From small group discussions to large public events, each presentation is designed to be engaging, interactive when appropriate, and relevant to the needs of your audience.
