2013 HCAM & MCAL Presenter Policy
5
Purpose:
To create a fair and consistent experience for individuals selected to present at HCAM/MCAL education programs and other Association events.
HCAM Staff Person Responsible:
Director of Education
Procedure:
· HCAM/MCAL members and associate partners are given first consideration (by way of a completed presentation proposal) for all breakout sessions at Association-sponsored education programs. Keynote addresses and general sessions are usually reserved for a state, regional or nationally-recognized, professional/credentialed speaker.
· Presenting at an HCAM/MCAL education program affords a speaker the opportunity to share his/her ideas, knowledge and experience with both newcomers and veterans of the long-term care profession. It also facilitates increased visibility, recognition and credibility in the eyes of peers, and promotes important industry-wide quality initiatives and best practices. Furthermore, presenters at HCAM/MCAL events are perceived as thought leaders or “go-to” people – and will likely be contacted by participants for additional information, speaking opportunities and/or consultation. Access to participants and constructive feedback helps presenters hone their skills (both as a presenter and as a long-term care practitioner/vendor) and grow their professional networks. Participants often reach out to presenters with follow-up questions or to seek further clarification. These contacts should be viewed as a valuable resource and a significant benefit of speaking at an HCAM/MCAL education program.
· Published presenters are welcome and encouraged to sell their educational materials (e.g., books, DVDs) during designated times of the education program
for which they’re confirmed to speak. Such arrangements should be made with the Association a minimum of eight weeks in advance of the event.
· In gratitude for their services, all presenters are extended a nontransferable, complimentary registration to the event for which they’re confirmed
to speak. Presenters are asked to communicate their attendance plans with the Association a minimum of four weeks in advance of the event.
· Local presenters, including HCAM/MCAL members and associate partners, are not afforded presenter fees, reimbursement for miscellaneous expenses, compensation for travel and/or complimentary overnight accommodations. In extenuating circumstances, when the Association’s request to speak poses an undue hardship to the presenter, special arrangements may be considered.
· All presenters are recognized by name and company in the registration and on-site program booklets
· In the event a presenter becomes unable to speak, that individual is responsible for working in close collaboration with HCAM/MCAL to secure another individual who is available and qualified to deliver the selected presentation with his/her PowerPoint slides and handout materials.
· A standard room set includes a microphone (if necessary; based on room/audience size), a podium, an audio/visual cart, electrical, a screen, a projector and a head table at the front of the room for presenter materials. HCAM/MCAL may not provide laptops. Presenters should be prepared to supply a laptop with their PowerPoint presentation preloaded. (Also, HCAM/MCAL is not compatible with Apple products. Presenters who choose to work from a MacBook should bring with them the appropriate converter to connect their laptop to a standard Dell LCD projector.)
