NAESP's 2012 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.

Exceptions for religious considerations or other scheduling conflicts will be accommodated whenever possible if they are communicated in writing in advance.
Up to two presenters can be listed for each proposal. Do not list presenters without a definite commitment that the co-presenter will appear on the program. It is expected that all presenters will adhere to the policies, procedures, and deadlines established. This will help ensure that all information is posted and published in a timely manner for attendees to view and that all of the presenters’ needs are met.
An individual may not submit or present more than three proposals.
The same school/organization may not appear on more than three proposals.
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.
Presenter substitutions must be approved by NAESP and may not be reflected in the program.
Presenters at NAESP's 2012 Conference, BEST PRACTICES FOR BETTER SCHOOLS™ — The National Conference & Expo of the Year are expected to use materials and language that do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, ethnicity, religion, physical ability and/or sexual orientation.
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!

Submitting a proposal indicates understanding and acceptance of this policy.
Whenever possible, NAESP records programming. This access allows attendees to more deeply engage in the professional development opportunities presented.
