"I think, right now, because of publicity we made in and out of state, we are receiving a lot of offers," he said.
Daley said many potential presenters have contacted the SBA lately and like coming here because of the audience.
"I think speakers like it because they can talk to a young, professional crowd," she said.
The association supports Chaves, who has many connections, when he finds someone, Daley said, adding they always try to find a worthwhile speaker.
"We really try hard to make our speaker an asset to students," Daley said.
When Chaves receives offers from potential presenters, he looks at the topic they would present.
"When I see it is a topic that will benefit students and the community, that's the person who gets the offer," he said.
"I thought that Mr. Vázquez will bring a very important message about the face of the Latinos in Wisconsin."
