ANT TO HEAR ABOUT
some of the exciting stories and discover new
ideas trending in parks and recreation?
Have something of your own to share?
NRPA is excited to announce a fresh
and exhilarating speaking opportunity for our 2013 Congress and Exposition in Houston, Texas! This year, we
are offering a series of quick, lively, and
innovative 20-minute Speed Sessions
designed to energize and inspire.
This is a great opportunity for new
speakers to get their feet wet and for
veteran speakers to present material
in a new and unconventional manner. We are looking for a variety of topics: anything from sharing marketing
and program ideas to telling an inspirational story. The sky is the limit,
so think creatively and outside of the
box! Audience participation is strongly

encouraged-you will have 20 minutes
to get your message across, so make
it good!

Parameters:
Proposals must be submitted online by
Friday, February 15.
■ Limit of one speaker per Speed
Session
■ No sales pitches of any sort are
permitted
■ PowerPoint presentations are not required, but are limited to ﬁve slides
or fewer
■ Speakers will not receive any compensation or registration discount
for presenting.
And here comes the fun part....all
proposals received will be put to a vote.
Your fellow NRPA members will ultimately make the ﬁnal selections on the
topics they want to hear, so make your

proposal stand out from the rest!
For additional information and the
submission link, please visit: www.
nrpa.org/speedsessions, or contact
education@nrpa.org with further
questions.

The Odds are Not to Your Advantage.

organization-you can make better

informed decisions that help you:
■ Protect the populations you serve
■ Preserve and advance the reputation
of your organization
■ Promote community safety.
