Building Resilience: The Promise and Practice of Community Action -
Call for Workshops is Now Open
2016 Community Action Partnership Annual Convention, August 30 - September 2, Austin, TX
Do you have a workshop idea for August 2016? Community Action Partnership wants to hear about it! The Call for Workshops is open now until March 11.
We welcome proposals from Community Action Agencies, State and Regional Associations, national partners, and experts in the field of nonprofit and public administration. We are looking for workshops that relate to our overall theme of Building Resilience as well as fit into our tracks:
- Effective Administration and Governance (such as finance, human resources, technology usage, planning, board governance, leadership, etc.)
- Promising Anti-Poverty Practices (such as program models; approaches to tackling the causes and conditions of poverty; working with special populations such as veterans, children, seniors, etc.)
- Strategies to Increase Visibility (such as branding, marketing, communications, fundraising, etc.)
- Research, Policy, and Action (such as big data, setting a policy agenda, education and advocacy, etc.)
- Performance at the Front Line (skill building for intake and case managers such as coaching, human behavior, cultural competency, crisis intervention, customer service, etc.)
Note there are a couple of differences between this year's call for Workshops and years past. Performance at the Frontline is receiving more emphasis as a dedicated track, you are asked how your workshop fits with the theme and track, we are looking for more specificity on the intended audience of your workshop, and you no longer have to put in the biographies of your co-presenters or you're A/V needs at this point in time.
Avoid the rush!
