Thank you for your interest in presenting at
The Arc’s 2017 National Convention. This year’s convention will be held at the
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina in San Diego, CA on November 1-4, 2017.
People with disabilities, their families, chapters of The Arc staff and volunteers, and others in our field and the business community need innovative solutions that will fuel our motivation and spark our spirit for collaboration. We are looking for knowledgeable, experienced presenters with:
- Expertise in critical issues important to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families.
- Experiences in fields and environments outside the disability community that highlight light novel perspectives and strategies that may translate.
- A proven track record of presenting at national/international meetings in an engaging and interactive manner.
- The ability to deliver information to a diverse audience including people with I/DD, families, professionals, business leaders and members of boards of directors.
