NAESP Submissions

General Information

Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.
Those submitting proposals will have access to proposals until September 14.
Incomplete proposals will not be considered for review and will be deleted after Wednesday, September 14, 2011.
The NAESP Conference & Expo programming is a non-commercial forum. NAESP respects the participant's goals for professional development and objects to any discussions or suggestions implying the sale or marketing of products, programs, services, or anything else representing monetary self-interest. Expectation is that all presenters submitting a proposal understand and support this objective. Failure to comply will impact future consideration.
The submission of a proposal does not guarantee inclusion in the NAESP 2012 Conference & Expo program. Acceptance of a proposal is based on alignment with the focus areas and the depth of content demonstrated in the proposal narrative. NAESP will select a balance of proposal topics within the focus areas for presentation. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee of NAESP members, affiliate leaders, content experts, and NAESP staff. All proposals selected will be announced by November 21, 2011.
Sessions will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Thursday, March 22 through Saturday, March 24, 2012. Presenter(s) must be available for any day and time NAESP assigns. Exceptions for religious considerations or other scheduling conflicts will be accommodated whenever possible if they are communicated in writing in advance.
An individual may not submit or present more than three proposals.
The same school/organization may not appear on more than three proposals.
Up to two presenters can be listed for each proposal. Do not list presenters without a definite commitment that the co-presenter(s) will appear on the program. All presenters must agree to the Terms and Conditions for participation.
The primary person submitting each proposal will serve as the point of contact for NAESP. This person will be responsible for informing the presenter(s) of the status of the proposal, deadlines, registration fees, handouts, and all related presentation specifications.
All presenters must pay the conference registration fee and have a registration badge. Up to two (2) presenters will receive a discounted registration rate of $200 (this discount is not transferable or refundable) and must register by February 3, 2012. Instructions and a specially coded presenter registration form will be provided with presentation schedule notifications.
NAESP does not grant honoraria or pay expenses for concurrent session presenters. The benefit of contributing your knowledge and expertise to others in the profession at a national conference leads to professional growth and development and ultimately expands leadership capacity and learning from colleagues and peers!
