NOTES ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
- The Association conference attracts a diverse audience made up of program directors, staff, parents, community friends and federal representatives, all with a common interest in providing comprehensive early childhood and family focused services of the highest quality.
- As a non-profit educational/human services association, VAHSA does not award workshop presenters an honorarium. Speakers are asked to cover their own travel, parking and printing expenses as volunteers. Travel, hotel and all other expenses incurred as a result of presenting at the 2019 VAHSA Annual Conference are the responsibility of the presenter.
- Workshops will be 90 minutes long. Set-up time is minimal, so please keep that in mind when planning your presentation. Since this is a conference center, we are limited on how the rooms can be arranged. Most rooms will be set up classroom style.
- You will receive a copy of your submission in an email once you've completed the proposal. If you have any changes, please send to [email protected].
- Lead Presenters Only, Please provide a brief description of your company or consultant services, including information you want conference attendees to have, for the Presenter Information.

- If the lead presenter has not presented at a VAHSA conference in the past three years, please attach the lead presenters resume or curriculum vitae and, if applicable, a list of other conferences where they have presented or two references.
- As a lead presenter, you are our guest on the day(s) of your presentation, and your meals are waived for that day. You will need to indicate which meal you will be staying for, depending on your presentation schedule. Co-presenters are asked to pay for meals at a reduced rate.
- In order to have accurate food counts and ensure that we have materials for everyone, we need all presenters to register, even if you are only attending the conference to present. EVERYONE who presents must register for the conference by February 1, 2019. Even if you only present and then leave, you will still be required to register at no cost.
- Presenters representing vendors or consulting firms are asked not to sell or market items within the training session. They may provide more of their product/service information at an exhibit table. Please choose the option when submitting, to be notified when the Vendor registration opens and an email will be sent to you with more information.
