2011 TAE4-HA Conference Proposals

The District 9 4-H Agents Association would like to invite all who are interested to submit a proposal for presentation or poster display at the 2011 TAE4-HA State meeting to be held in Beaumont, Tx  August 3-5, 2011.  Proposals are due May 1, 2011.

The meeting theme is “Spice it up 4-H Style,” but do not let the theme dictate your proposal consideration.  All proposals with well established teaching objectives, and relevant content will be considered.  There are a limited number of opportunities for presentations, but the selection committee will work hard to make sure those topics of the highest relevance are chosen for the conference.

When making your decision to submit a proposal please consider the following:  Flexibility in the length of your presentation and your willingness to present your information on an educational poster will enhance your odds of being selected.  Additionally, topics that are considered high priority by your Extension Coworkers will be viewed more favorably.  Lastly, proposals that are aligned with the educational missions of NAE4-HA will have an advantage.

To see the types of presentations and guidelines for proposals please refer to the NAE4-HA Presenters Handbook.  The guidelines in the handbook are more in-depth than is actually necessary for the state process, but having followed these guidelines your proposal will be sound and you will be ready for the eventual presentation.

Submitting Proposals:
Proposals can be submitted by going online and completing the online proposal form (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dE9QWEdjUExQS2ZoMlhONHlLZnY3TVE6MQ) or Click on title of Blog Post.
