Convention is a great opportunity for members of the afterschool and education communities to share best practices, proven strategies and great tips—even if it's your first time presenting at a conference.

We're looking for the best in afterschool to present at Convention! One of our goals for Convention is to share best practices that attendees will be able to implement in their own programs, communities and states. We also seek to highlight the best in programming, leadership, management, fundraising, partnership building, innovation and many other topics on a national stage.

We are hosting a webinar on September 7 at 1:00pm EDT about the call for proposals process, the kind of content we're looking for and other tips for putting together a strong proposal. Register here to attend the webinar. 

Visit the presenters page of the NAA Convention website for updates and details on submitting a proposal, as well as a link to the proposal submission system, beginning September 1, 2016.
