Recent Videos With the speakers' permission, DORR produces video recordings of presentations at its monthly breakfasts, and makes them available both on YouTube and on DVD. We don't record presentations by candidates. (Most candidates prefer to produce their own video materials.)
All available videos of DORR events can be found on YouTube here.
