SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES
WITH MCN
The ability to
submit presentation and speaking propsals is reserved for MCN associate
and nonprofit members.
About MCN’s workshops and trainings: Each year, MCN offers
more than 60 workshops, trainings and conferences. MCN often relies
on the expertise of others to lead workshops, trainings, and conference
breakout sessions. We look for experts in their related field to
present on a specific topic of interest to a broad range of nonprofits.
Calendar of MCN
events
What we seek in presenters: Our nonprofit members expect
a high level of information and resources. Thus, we look for presenters
that have an expertise in the area in which they will be presenting,
experience with nonprofit organizations of all sizes, and previous
training experience.
What we look for in proposals: MCN looks for thoughtful
presentations that are geared toward an audience of nonprofit leaders
and managers. Proposals should be fully developed and thought out,
include information about possible handouts or activities integrated
in the presentation, and a list of what participants will gain from
attending the session. Proposals should be for informational presentations
only. MCN will not review or accept proposals for presentations
intended to promote a presenter’s services or products.
Presentation areas of interest: MCN will accept and review
presentation proposals for any area. However, there are several
specific areas that we address on an ongoing basis, including:
- Fundraising and Development
- Management and Finance
- Technology
- Board Governance
- Personnel and Human Resources
- Public Policy
- Marketing and Communications
- Leadership

addition, MCN has planned several conferences for 2010 and invites
proposals for breakout session at each event.
