Submitting a Proposal
Proposals must be submitted in electronic format (send as a Microsoft Word document or as a PDF file) with the following document title format:
Last Name First Initial (Coordinating Presenter) Workshop Title (first 2-3 words only) (e.g., JohnsonRBeforeStonewall.pdf).
The proposal form is attached as a fillable .pdf and as a .docx for your convenience—please choose the format that works best for you. We encourage all proposals be sent on or before the December 18th, 2015 priority deadline for fullest consideration. We will continue to accept proposals until January 10th, 2016. You are strongly encouraged to submit proposals as soon as possible. Send to the QIA Committee at [email protected]. Notifications will be emailed on or before January 31st, 2016. Students seeking coaching or advice as they craft a workshop proposal are encouraged to contact Mimi Alcantar ([email protected]). For general information about the summit, please contact Karama Blackhorn ([email protected]).
While we will offer a $100 honorarium per workshop (not per presenter), it is not possible to waive registration fees for workshop presenters given our budget restrictions. If you are not planning on attending on the summit other than to present your workshop, please contact the summit coordinators to request a registration waiver. Presenters not registered by the presenter registration deadline (February 15th) will have their presentation removed from the conference workshop.
When two or more people are presenting, the contact presenter is responsible for notifying all co-presenters of the status of the proposal. Sessions selected for the conference should not have the content significantly changed once accepted. Presenters are responsible for providing session handouts.
In addition to workshop alignment with summit mission, values, goals, and intended outcomes, the Workshop Committee will consider balance in the range of topics, level of expertise, interests covered, and professional and geographic distribution of the workshop presenters when accepting proposals.
