Frequently asked questions:

How does NCADV select the workshops for the conference program?

After a careful review process that includes NCADV board, staff and caucus members, as well as advocates from NCADV member programs, NCADV will select workshops that most closely relate to the conference theme. Our intention is to create a well-rounded conference program reflective of the diverse needs of our constituents. All workshop proposals should be carefully completed for accuracy and detail, and should be clear, concise, relevant, original and thought-provoking. Please know NCADV generally receives many more proposals than we can accommodate during our conferences and unfortunately have to reject more than we may want to, but your efforts and ideas are always appreciated.

What types of workshops does NCADV look for?

Past conference evaluations have indicated a need for workshops that reflect a growing and changing movement to end domestic violence. Workshops should reflect current issues facing the movement such as shelter-based services, community outreach and organizing, social change, funding and administration, oppression and racism, global violence against women, children and teens, and economic justice. Submissions that advertise a product, service for profit, book or artdisplay during your workshop will not be accepted – you may purchase a vendor table in the marketplace for this purpose. Please watch our website for that information.

What will I receive for presenting?

Presenters will gain experience and the opportunity to be part of the only national grassroots domestic violence conference. Presenters will receive free admission to the conference on the date of their presentation if attending that day only or a significantly reduced fee to attend the entire conference. Unfortunately, NCADV cannot pay presenter honorariums, travel, lodging, meals or other expenses. Presenters who identify as battered or formerly battered women are welcome to apply for a scholarship that waives conference registration fees. Please visit our website at to download a copy of the scholarship application.

Additional questions? Please call NCADV at (303) 839-1852 x107 or email us at .

11)Addressing diversity:

In an effort to model true diversity and support groups traditionally marginalized by racism, homophobia, classism and many other oppressions, NCADV asks that you define how you personally have been affected by such marginalization, should you feel comfortable doing so. Please know that NCADV reserves the right to give special consideration to presenters identifying with traditionally marginalized groups in effort to give voice to their experiences and provide a diverse forum that more accurately reflects NCADV’s overall constituency.

Please describe how you feel you have been affected by traditional marginalization such as racism, classism, able-bodyism, etc.:

How does this workshop address the needs of diverse groups or individuals? (Ex: different ethnic groups, genders, physical or mental abilities, cultures, religions, languages or sexual orientations.)

18)Recording:

Because of the many great workshop presentations provided over the course of NCADV conferences, many people find that they are not able to attend all the workshops they would like to attend and, therefore, often request audio or video taped copies of workshop presentations both during and after the conference. In response to this demand, NCADV hires a professional recording company to record select workshops based on the permission of the presenter and sells them as an NCADV product following the conference. Please let us know if you give NCADV your permission for such recordings:

Yes – I give permission to:

Audio tape this workshop

Video tape this workshop

No—please do not record my workshop

19)Audiovisual Needs:

NCADV will provide a flipchart and markers. Microphones and lecterns will be provided depending on the size of the room. PLEASE NOTE: Presenters are responsible for making their own arrangements, including payment, for any additional equipment. Should this workshop be chosen for presentation, more information will be provided at that time.
