Presenters are expected to pay fees and are encouraged to attend the entire conference. Our membership has grown to nearly 400 in eight years. Our annual conference provides opportunities for participants to share insights and experiences with their peers - administrators, advisers, curriculum developers, faculty, student services personnel, support staff, and others. Each year we discuss the classic continuing concerns of independent study and investigate new developments in the field. We encourage proposals on topics related to the areas of research and assessment, operations and student services, curriculum development, editing, marketing, and administration.
Special consideration is given to proposals which incorporate the conference theme.
List presenters and briefly describe their backgrounds, particularly as they relate to experience with the topic. This summary will be used in the final program to describe your presentation. Please specify any needed audiovisual or computer equipment. Submit your proposal as early as possible to increase its chances of being accepted. More than one proposal may be submitted but multiple presentations will only be considered if there is space on the conference program.
