Proposal Review Process

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN PROPOSALS

In soliciting proposals, the conference planning committee has these main objectives:

• To achieve the goals and objectives of the conference.
• To highlight exemplary models of community-campus partnerships that serve as vehicles for social change.
• To ensure that the voices of those most affected by the issue or problem are heard.
• To ensure that sessions combine a strong depth of content and an emphasis on interactive and creative approaches to teaching and learning that stimulate discussion.
• To ensure that sessions go beyond describing a particular partnership, project or issue to also (a) analyze what worked, didn’t work and why and (b) facilitate the ability of participants to apply the information shared.

HOW PROPOSALS WILL BE REVIEWED AND SELECTED

Proposals will be reviewed by members of the conference planning committee and CCPH staff. Proposals were expected to meet these minimum criteria:

• Adherence to proposal submission instructions.
• Relevance to the conference theme, goals and objectives.
• Potential for engaging participants in substantive discussions.
• Clarity of writing.
