For Immediate Release From NAMI-Maryland!
We're excited to announce that we have begun to put together the program for the 41st NAMI Maryland Annual Conference, which will be held virtually on October 13th and 14th, 2023!:
https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/gcW... This year’s conference will bring together experts, advocates, and individuals passionate about mental health. Together, we’ll delve into crucial topics, foster insightful conversations, and work towards improving the lives of those affected by mental illness.
Are YOU interested in presenting at this year's conference? We invite you to submit a workshop proposal!:
https://files.constantcontact.com/1c99d009... Important to Remember:
The more complete and detailed your proposal is, the easier it is for us to make a determination. This includes correct spelling of names, degrees, titles, email addresses, and telephone numbers of the workshop presenters. If chosen, much of the information we are requesting in the proposal form will be used in the program.
In order for your proposal to be considered, you MUST include the following in addition to your workshop form: a brief outline of the presentation, and a bio, resume, and photo of all presenters. Incomplete proposals will not be accepted.
Please indicate on the form which category or categories you feel your workshop fits. We recommend including an explanation as to why you think the particular topic and/or speakers will provide useful information that a conference attendee can share within their own networks, including professional or social networks as well as affiliate networks. This helps us determine what tracks, if any, your workshop may fall under.
Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. All proposals are due Friday, August 25th, 2023. There are NO exceptions.
