Presentations
When proposing a presentation, you are encouraged to team up with others, tell us about yourselves, outline the topic that you plan to cover, and commit to a 60- to 90-minute presentation. Audience interaction has always been a plus so please emphasize your plan to engage your session’s attendees.
Next, your proposal will be considered by the volunteers on the Chapter’s Education Committee who just like you are professionals and volunteers in the Community Association industry. Committee members want to hear your ideas. And, if your proposal is approved, they then schedule your presentation at any of the events mentioned above.
Submit a topic that you enjoy. There has also been long time interest in presentations for audiences as diverse as those directors on our association’s boards to 300-level presentations for PCAMs such as:
- Managing new construction and capital improvements;
- Benchmarking;
- Human resources &
- Dispute resolution, to name a few.
