PILD Request for Proposals - November 9 Deadline
Public Issues Leadership
Development Conference
Sponsored by Joint Council of Extension Professionals
April 21-24, 2013
Alexandria Westin
Alexandria, Virginia
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS for Oral Presentations
Theme: Public Issues Leadership Development:
What you CAN do...
The Joint Council of
Extension Professionals’ (JCEP) Annual Public Issues Leadership Development
Conference (PILD) is a unique professional development opportunity that brings
together leaders from all levels and subject matter areas of Extension and key
volunteers and elected officials to gain insight into the “big picture” of how
the Extension system and our government work at the federal level. This year
the PILD Conference will once again provide capacity building for extension
advocacy and Extension programs in the context of relevant public issues
affecting the future of Extension Professionals and the populations they serve.
Call for Abstracts
This year's Planning
Committee invites you to highlight your own contributions to Cooperative
Extension that give insights into issues that are currently affecting our
Extension programming, clientele and volunteers. Our concurrent sessions will tackle the theme
'Public Issues Leadership Development: What you CAN do...' These sessions will be for professional
development rather than program reports and should offer some education on
issues including how to inform others and how to react when they occur. Presentations should highlight productive
models of extension advocacy; and how Extension programs successfully address
relevant and emerging public issues. They should also illustrate how these
models can be readily replicated in other states. We will continue to focus on
efforts where Extension fills an essential niche or provides vital leadership
for addressing these issues.
All attendees including presenters must register for
the conference.
Presentation format:
●
Oral
Presentations – 45-minute sessions including time for questions and answers.
