Daniel Memorial Institute's
conference planning committee invites adults and youth to apply to
present workshops at our 2010 National Conferences. As youth and family service
programs continue to grow, there is a rising need for educational workshops
aimed at helping agencies and programs increase effectiveness while minimizing
costs. Please share your innovative systems, policies and collaborative
techniques to put the needs of children and families
first.
We need your perspectives,
creativity, experience, and knowledge to offer our conference participants a
highly educational and inspiring conference. We are seeking proposals for
conference workshop sessions that will meet participants' diverse learning
needs.
Workshops can be an hour and a half or three hours in length and
may include a broad range of topics. We invite you to submit workshop proposals
on the latest research, practice excellence, organizational leadership,
legislative initiatives and all other topics that will help to improve outcomes
for our children, youth and families.
Workshop proposals will be
selected based on their relevance to the field and target audience, ability to
address policy/program areas, engaging format, interactive design and
originality.
While we encourage presenters to share their new
publications, curricula and other tools, we ask that you refrain from using
workshops to "sell" products. Exhibit space is available for those who would
like to promote their goods and services.
Presenters at Daniel Memorial
conferences are expected to register for the conference and are responsible for
their own expenses (travel and hotel expenses are not included in registration
fees). A maximum of four (4) representatives per workshop may attend the
conference at the discounted presenter rate. Please note that presenters are
expected to produce and provide handouts to attendees.
In cases where there is more than
one presenter, a "primary presenter" should be designated. The primary presenter
is responsible for disseminating conference/presentation information to the
co-presenter(s). Presenters will receive a $50.00 discount off of their
conference registration fee, including up to three
co-presenters.
Please note: DMI is not able to provide LCDs for Power Point
presentations. You may bring your own projector or make arrangements with the
hotel for these services at your expense.
