CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS

We are currently looking for individuals that would like to share their expertise and experiences as DCFs to serve as session leaders. This year, we will be emphasizing how we as facilitators take action with our DCF principles, methods, and business considerations, to make them truly our own, rooted in the theme of “Collaboration, Connection, Community, Commitment”.

Given our theme, we are looking for sessions that truly take the community beyond “Show us what you do”, that push the envelope of our learning, and that help us grow and develop in new ways as DCFs.

The application period is open for workshop session proposals covering the following general subject areas:

A. DCF Business Development (building market presence, client base, equipment & logistics, start-up funding, etc.)
B. Program Design & Activities for Specific Populations (children, special needs, workplace training, health & wellness, etc.)
C. DCF Techniques and Strategies (activities, games, resources)
D. DCF Mastery (personal presence, intention, self-development, inter-disciplinary resources, peer feedback, etc.)
E. Other

If you are interested in proposing a session, please download and complete the Session Proposal form.


The deadline for session proposal forms is January 3, 2014.
