Call for Speakers

The CCAE 2010 National Conference Program Committee is now accepting proposals for conference sessions. The theme for this year’s conference is Connect. Learn. Solve. We are looking for top-notch speakers and sessions that best reflect this theme.  The sessions should showcase best practices, discuss successes/challenges, and share innovative ideas in all areas of educational advancement.

The 2010 Conference will be presented in a format that will include formal presentations as well as roundtable discussions.  The conference format will include five formal presentations to be run concurrently, allowing for a total of 30 sessions, each 1.5 hours in length. In addition to these formal presentations, there will be 24 roundtable discussions. These will be facilitated by advancement professionals who will present a brief overview of roundtable topic (15 minutes) then facilitate the discussion for ½ hour; each roundtable will be presented four times.
