2009 PNP Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals
The Public and Nonprofit Division (PNP) encourages creative proposals
for PDW sessions that would advance professional development knowledge
at the 2009 Annual Conference in Chicago, IL. These sessions are
scheduled between Friday 8 am (8/7/08) and Saturday 8:00 pm (8/8/08). We
seek PDW topics that link to the Conference theme of "Green Management
Matters".
In addition to our annual Doctoral Student Consortium, we are especially
interested in seeking topics that:
- Showcase public and nonprofit perspectives on "Green Management" (e.g.
sustainable communities, water resource scarcity, and global warming)
- Explore mid-career issues, research methods issues, or ones that
explore statistical skills, advancing research for publication, and
networking.
- Review teaching topics and innovations in teaching.
Beyond the possibilities listed above, please submit other innovative
ideas. Sessions can take a number of formats: workshop, interactive
panels, skits, debates, and tours -- in traditional or nontraditional
formats.
Collaborations between practitioners and academics are welcome. We also
encourage designing sessions that other divisions may want to co-sponsor
or co-organize. Please submit your PDW proposal, including contact
information of the organizer(s) (name affiliation, mail, phone) proposed
PDW title, brief description of the session, the expected outcomes to
the participants, desired time required, preferred date and time,
anticipated target audience, room layout suggested, and A/V needs.
The deadline for proposals is January 15, 2009. Please submit PDW
proposals at
http://submissions.aomonline.org/2009. If you have any
questions about a possible PDW, please do not hesitate to contact the
PNP PDW Chair, Leisha DeHart-Davis, at
lddavis@ku.edu.
