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 40 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 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 responsibility 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
Conferences
of Interest: In addition, MCN has planned several conferences
for 2009 and invites proposals for breakout session at each event.
- MCN/ MCF Joint Annual Conference
– The largest gathering of nonprofit and philanthropic leaders
in the state, this conference covers a broad range of issues and
will have a specific theme associated with it.
- Leadership Conference – MCN will
sponsor a confererence on nonprofit leadership and is soliciting
proposals for presentations focusing on building leadership in
the nonprofit sector.
Compensation: MCN is unable to compensate speakers. However,
presenters are invited to include their contact information in handout
materials and bring a single stack of brochures or business cards
to place on a table near the registration area.
