Jerry,there's several contacts for this. Any LUG director should post this question to the interlug listserver or just email me directly offline.
If you're a LUG director or board member (terms vary), you should be on the interlug which is a closed listserver for LUG officials and liasons and a great please to share and get resources.

Actually IBM already has such a program in place for LUGs. Both the
Rochester and Toronto labs will provide speakers over the 'Net. I
forget who is the focal point for the Rochester lab, perhaps Don or
Glenn knows, but Alison Butterill is (was?) the lead for Toronto. This
has been discussed and presented numerous times at the LUG meeting at
COMMON conferences.
Don or Glenn, you got any contact emails for this?
