Requirements
While our programs typically do not provide CEUs, we encourage the use of adult-learning methods and interactive components (Q&A; case studies; group discussion, polling, etc.) in addition to lecture/slides to facilitate content acquisition and application by the audience/attendees.

Proposals may only be submitted using this online form - faxed/emailed proposals will not be accepted.
To successfully submit a proposal, you will need to provide the following:
  • Contact Information: including phone and email.
  • Speaker Biographical Statement: demonstrating expertise in the subject matter and experience with presenting.
  • Photo: this will be used in marketing materials (please upload a high-rez photo of your head and shoulders).
  • Presentation Title and Description: this will be used in marketing materials to describe what the session will be about and learning outcomes - what attendees can take away from the session.
  • Audio-Visual Needs: for digitally delivered programs (webinars), we will provide the streaming/recording platform (Zoom), you will need to provide a microphone, camera and internet-connected device; for in-person programs, we will provide at a minimum a microphone; laptop and projector upon request, please indicate any additional needs on the form.
  • Materials: Please indicate if you will have handouts beyond copies of the slides - these are encouraged, especially those that are models, samples, etc.
Other optional fields on the form include:
  • Honorarium/Expenses: if you are requesting an honorarium and/or expect reimbursement for expenses, please indicate in the space provided.
  • Speaking Video: if you are a professional speaker or requesting an honorarium, please provide a video of you speaking to an audience.
Proposal Review Process Guidelines
Presentations proposals are reviewed on a regular basis by our Education/Conference Committees using the following guidelines:
  • Relevance to primary audiences and practical application of material to in-home care company owners and staff.
  • Timely or innovative topic
  • Clearly defined objectives and focus
  • Teaching experience of presenter(s)
