Thank you for your interest in presenting at the seventh annual Resiliency Conference, hosted by Fairbanks Wellness Coalition!
The theme this year is Woven in Wellness: Coming Together for Collective Impact
We're looking for speakers to present to our full conference and/or workshop leaders to host smaller, more focused workshops. Proposals should touch on one of the following topics:
- resilience in our selves and our systems
- alignment & action
- breaking down siloes
- community over competition
Audience
Most of the audience will have a personal and/or professional interest in wellness, prevention, and public health. This includes coalition members, prevention specialists, law enforcement, educators, people in recovery, youth, and more. Speaker and/or workshop proposals that are relevant to a cross-section of the audience are more likely to be selected.
Selection Criteria
Speakers and workshop presenters will be selected by our Resiliency Conference workgroup. Selections will be based on the following criteria:
- The overall quality of the proposal
- Focused and well-defined topic
- Relevance to the theme: resilience in ourselves and systems, alignment & action, breaking down siloes, community over competition
- Relevance to FWC's mission of promoting wellness in the Interior through primary prevention and advocacy: suicide prevention, shared risk and protective factors, ACEs/PCEs, substance use prevention, etc.
- Practical application of the material
- Presentation skill(s) and experience of the proposed speaker(s)
Commercial/Promotional Presentations
Presenters/speakers may NOT sell, raffle, or otherwise promote a product, service, or organization in which they have a financial interest.
Compensation
FWC values local experts, community leaders, and dynamic presenters. That's why we're offering compensation for all of our speakers. Presentations made in the main hall will receive $400 and workshops will receive $250. Payments will be made to the main presenter unless other arrangements are made. Travel funds are not available in most cases but exceptions may be made. If you aren't local to Fairbanks, please email info@fairbankswellness.org.
