PRESENTER SELECTION GUIDELINES

Since NAAAHR is a not-for-profit organization, we are unable to pay fees or expenses for selected presenters.  Speaking at one of our chapter events will provide you with visibility and help you establish solid professional contacts within the HR community.

Presentation proposals are reviewed and selected by the Board of Directors based upon the following criteria:

-          Overall quality of content

-          Clearly defined objectives

-          Relevance to the HR profession

-          Presenter’s speaking abilities

Selected presenters will be contacted by the VP of Plans and Programs to confirm the date and time of the presentation.  NAAAHR will maintain proposal information for presenters who are not initially selected, for potential future consideration.

Presenters are tasked with providing their own handouts/materials. 

Any material that presenters would like to use as handouts must be pre-approved bye the VP of Plans and Programs well in advance of the scheduled presentation.
