Tips for Prospective PresentersThinking about submitting a proposal for LEAD 2022? Join us for two sessions where facilitators will answer questions and assist you in writing a successful proposal! These online workshops are FREE and open to anyone interested in proposing a session or workshop for the upcoming LEAD Conference in August 2022. This workshop will go over the various components of the proposal – the different types of sessions, session information and session outline. We will also review the different potential tracks and audiences for your proposal and relevant considerations. We will highlight some things that are key areas in decision making as we look to have a comprehensive and well-balanced conference. This will also be an opportunity to ask questions. This session will be presented in webinar format and recorded for people who cannot attend. CART and ASL interpretation provided.
This session is informal and geared towards people who are considering submitting a proposal, or in the middle of submitting a proposal and have some questions or are looking for clarification. Everyone who registers is welcome to drop in at any point during the hour, and stay for as long or short a time as you like. You may be the only one in the room with the LEAD staff, or there may be a group of people. It will be meeting style, not a webinar. CART and ASL interpretation provided.
