IMPACT conference call for workshop proposals

Deadline: Friday, January 23, 2009.

The IMPACT Conference brings college students, nonprofit professionals, campus administrators, and year of service members together to share experiences, stories, and resources in their work for social change. Attendees gather across philosophies, ideologies, issues, geography, and approaches to social change in what is historically the largest such national gathering.

Workshops are pivotal to the conference, and we are excited that you are interested in presenting at this year's conference. Please complete the below form and submit your workshop proposal for review by Friday, January 23, 2009 at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time. Proposals will be evaluated and you will be notified of its status by January 30, 2009.

WORKSHOP EXPECTATIONS

When submitting a workshop proposal, please ensure that you have followed these criteria. The Workshop Team will review your proposal based on the information provided, not on personal experience or knowledge. All workshops will be evaluated using the below criteria:

- Workshops are geared towards the needs of IMPACT conference attendees, which include students, campus administrators, and nonprofit professionals.

- Workshops are engaging for attendees and the presenters involve the audience through participatory activities.

- Workshops are understandable and clear to the intended audience.

- Workshops have a specific take away. The take away should be a skill or knowledge that can be applied in workshop participants' communities. One way this can be done through the production of a handout for attendees.

- Workshops include a network opportunity. Networking is an important part of the IMPACT Conference. Workshops are an ideal place for people with shared interest to meet.

- Workshop presenters register for IMPACT by February 6, 2009 for workshop presenter's registration rate.
