Call for Proposals

Hello all you Imagery Lovers everywhere!!

Jann Fredrickson-Ramus

If you would like to be one of our presenters, send your proposals to me, Jann Fredrickson by email to: Jann.Ruth7@gmail.com / JFredr7753@aol.com, OR mail to: PO Box 213, Newport, MN. 55055, OR fax to: 651-458-1633, by March 31, 2012.  I will start accepting conference proposals by January 31 and will let you know by April 17 if your proposal is accepted.

Proposal Requirements

1. All workshops are to be 90 minutes long.

2. Your name, address, and email address.

3. Brief biography (25-50 words) including expertise for presenting on your topic.

4. Title of the workshop and how it pertains to our theme.

5. Two objectives stated with one action verb per objective and in measurable behavior or outcome.

For example, say you are giving a workshop to teach folks how to use Emotional Freedom Therapy and Imagery. So your objectives would read:

a. At the end of the workshop, the participant will have a basic knowledge of what EFT is and HOW it can be used in combination with imagery.

b. At the end of the workshop, the participant will understand how effective the modalities of EFT and imagery are when used in conjunction with one another.

6. Course description (25-35 words).

7. Course outline.

8. What your audio/visual (AV) needs will be.

You can call me with any questions: 651-208-6458 during the hours of 12:30pm to about 3:30pm CST most days (this is walk time) or your can email me with questions.
  We had a terrific lineup last conference and I know that this year it will be even better!!
  Looking forward to hearing from YOU.

Emeritus Speaker

This year we will have six great speakers with one slot exclusively for an “Emeritus”.  This is a speaker that has presented for us in other conferences and is back by “popular demand”.  Anyone who has presented for us in any of our conferences can submit a proposal and a committee will select the best of those submitted to us.  I am particularly excited by the prospect of this “Emeritus” slot because many of our former speakers have been so well-received that there have been requests to hear from them again.

Emphasis on Experiential Component

When submitting a proposal, please keep in mind that we will select those that tend to have an “experiential” component to them.  Each presentation will be 90 minutes long and the more one can engage the audience with something other than lecture, the greater the chance that it will be accepted.  Come prepared to SHOW us, and TEACH us through experience, dialogue, dancing, art, and other mediums.  If your proposal is accepted, we will pay your tuition for the conference.  You will be responsible for all travel and lodging expenses.  We may offer a small honorarium depending on the attendance at the conference.  Any materials that you have published or would like to offer for sale you can bring and all profits will go directly to you.  You can display your wares on tables set up specifically to sell speaker paraphernalia.

Proposals Due March 31

I will start accepting conference proposals on January 31, 2012 and will accept them until March 31, 2012.  Please look at the requirement for proposals listed above.  These proposals can be mailed to: PO Box 213, Newport, MN. 55055, OR faxed to 651-458-1633,  OR emailed to: JFredr7753@aol.com.  I will let you know by April 17 whether your proposal has been accepted.

Here is to the FOURTH annual conference :  “Imagery and the Soul“.   May it be our best yet!!
