• Does the workshop offer a high quality and high-level learning experience that has a significant positive impact on the professional development of the participants?

• Does the workshop have a theme and a group of participants that will draw a strong audience regardless of competing sessions or scheduling restrictions?
• Does the workshop encourage multi-way conversation and interaction among participants from multiple divisions, disciplines, regions, career stages, or demographic backgrounds?
• Is the workshop interactive and inclusive?
  

Proposal Guidelines

• In the one-page explanation as to why the workshop should be of interest to the division, focus on the relevance or importance of the topic. Why is development of this skill, work product, or plan important to PNP members? Why do you believe this workshop will draw a strong audience regardless of competing sessions or scheduling restrictions? Will it draw participants from outside the division?
• In the one-page description of the workshop format, cover the structure of the session and efforts that will be made to engage the audience. How will the audience engage in interactive activity during this workshop? How will it be inclusive? Please demonstrate why you believe this approach is pedagogically sound. In what ways will the proposed workshop encourage participation from a broad audience (or why is it appropriate to focus on a narrower audience, if applicable)? How much time is needed and how will it be used?
• In the one-to-three-page overview of the workshop, clearly define the professional development objective. What skill, work product, or actionable plan will participants develop during the workshop? Also provide short biographies (~125 words) of organizers and presenters.
