BECOMING AN ADVIS PRESENTER

ADVIS is committed to providing relevant, timely, high quality professional development for administrators and trustees in order to strengthen and sustain our schools. While, on occasion, ADVIS programming is appropriate for faculty as well, please only submit professional development proposals geared for school administrators, staff, academic leaders, and/or trustees. ADVIS programs are led by experts in their field, many of whom work in our own schools.

Many ADVIS programs are held at member schools in order to keep costs for attendees at a minimum. If your school is interested in hosting an ADVIS program please fill out the Become an ADVIS Event Host School form.

For ADVIS Members and other Independent School Leaders

The power of our Association resides in our willingness to share resources and knowledge. We welcome proposals by ADVIS members for our upcoming professional development programs. In addition, presenting at an ADVIS program is a wonderful opportunity to broaden your own professional growth and leadership. Please consider sharing your expertise by submitting a General Presentation Proposal Form.

For NON ADVIS Members

ADVIS invites you to showcase your expertise as a presenter at one of our professional development programs. You may submit your proposal on the General Presentation Proposal Form. Please note that these are not exhibitor presentations. While presenting provides visibility to your organization, it must be appropriate for the both clients and non-clients, be based on a body of evidence and highlight your expertise, rather than your product. To highlight your product or service, please consider underwriting one of our programs and/or advertising on our website in our online directory. Get more information about becoming an ADVIS underwriter.

Proposal Review

You will be notified ONLY if your proposal is accepted. While we are unable to respond to those that are not chosen, proposals stay on file for possible future selection. ADVIS will review all proposals with an eye toward relevance and timeliness of the topic, usefulness of the information, and provision of specific knowledge, skills or strategies. The most successful proposals are those that:

challenge participants with new perspectives/ideas
describe future trends/developments
are interactive and promote discussion
offer concrete tools and specific resources
focus on producing actionable results
highlight creative and data-driven approaches
