Call for Session Proposals

What does the word “Voices” mean to you? Is it giving expression to cultural diversity? Discussing issues around disability or LGBTQ concerns? Exhibiting perspectives of underserved communities?  This year we focus our attention to voices and expressions of equity, accessibility, and inclusion in our cultural institutions. How does your institution handle multiple or competing voices? What are the exciting or emerging thoughts and practices in your institution surrounding access and inclusion of voice?

Let’s consider and discuss these issues together!

The 2016 Conference Committee is seeking proposals for sessions that will engage and be relevant to seasoned professionals and dedicated volunteers as well as newcomers to the field. Sessions are 60 minutes in length and may be proposed as double sessions.

Please provide the following information on the form when submitting a proposal: your name and title, the name and address of your institution, your phone and email address.  You should provide a session title, theme or thesis, and a brief description (1-2 paragraphs), along with a list of participants and their affiliation and a brief bio, if possible.  Please note the name of the session chair along with your A/V needs.

Complete the following form and submit it by the Deadline June 17, 2016.

Please be aware that notification of your session's acceptance or denial will take place at the end of August.
