The call to submit workshop proposals and speakers for the 2015 NABJ Annual Convention and Career Fair in Minneapolis has been opened. Tracks for workshops are: Engage, Immerse, Specialize, Inform, Learn and Know.
According to the NABJ website, proposals will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
• Is the topic innovative and relevant?
• Is the session well-organized and designed to meet the needs of this particular audience?
• Are the session objectives and “takeaways” for participants clearly explained in the proposal?
Seeing this, I came up with 10 workshop ideas I hope members will submit to the Program Committee. Remember — you can’t complain about programming if you don’t submit anything. The deadline is Sunday, Nov. 16. Good luck!
