Call for Presentations

Welcome!

CADCA is requesting training session proposals addressing the latest research findings, cutting-edge program successes, lessons learned or problems solved. Training Sessions should be interactive and engaging and include activities that get participants thinking through practical applications of the content. Please note that training sessions selected from the Call for Presentations will run 75 minutes in length. 

This Forum's theme is "Unlocking the Power of Coalitions" and as community change agents, we embrace this philosophy in our work to improve the quality of life in our communities. High-preforming coalitions are those that have developed broad strategic alliances, implemented proven and promising strategies and achieved population-level change.

As a potential presenter, you are getting a sneak peek at a very exciting new resource we have developed at CADCA. We have formally launched CADCA's Core Competencies for Coalitions, and core competencies will be incorporated into the training sessions. In this submission form, you will be asked to select at most 2 core competencies that will be covered in your session as well as at most 2 knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) associated with each core competency.

Not familiar with CADCA's Core Competencies for Coalitions? Throughout the form, you will find definitions for the core competencies and the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with them. We've also included a core competencies cheat sheet, guidelines for writing a session description, instructions for writing learning objectives, a list of the questions available in this form, and several sample workshop applications to guide you in using this new form.

SUBMISSION NOTE:
  • All accepted session submissions will be for 75-minute sessions, exact dates and times will be assigned
