Submission Tips
- Write a paragraph rather than use bullet points. Your session should be a narrative, not a list of ideas.
- Your session title should be eye-catching and draw attention to the subject matter discussed in the body of the submission.
- Your proposal should explicitly state how your topic would address urban district challenges and demonstrate equity in programs, policies, and initiatives.
- Consider the best way for attendees to consume the information you are sharing. A lecture-style presentation is not the only way to share your experience and expertise.
- Review the proposal several times before you finally submit it. Your description forms the basis for what NSBA shares in the program materials and the website.
- NSBA is here for guidance—ask questions if you are unsure of an aspect of your submission.
