We are looking for facilitators and presenters to lead sessions focusing on the development, implementation, and/or evaluation of student centered programs, campaigns, and opportunities.

We also want to uplift the voices of our emerging professionals, and encourage session partnerships between professional and student staff.

The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, August 16.

We are hosting the Region I Swap Shop to give our members a chance to show off the projects, events, and campaigns from the last year that they’re proud of. We want to see what our region has been doing and applaud your achievements

We invite you to create a poster or a digital slideshow showing off your accomplishment. Include photos, testimonials, program outcomes and whatever else you want to highlight. Do you have any leftover giveaways or pamphlets? Bring them along! Who knows? You may even want to present an education session case study to go along with it! Attendees will get the chance to view Swap Shop displays throughout the conference and have a chance to engage with presenters.

This is an opportunity for other campuses to be inspired and bring ideas home. We are stronger as a region when we share and collaborate to elevate our unions.

The deadline to submit your proposal is Monday, October 14.
