Call for Speakers

In our continuing effort to provide the best training and events possible to our members and event attendees, the Fairfield County Chapter invites professionals and subject matter experts to provide proposals for future educational lunch programs, conferences, and events.

Please read this page carefully as it contains all of the information you will need to make an informed decision as to whether you want to submit a topic for consideration. Once submitted, you will receive confirmation and your proposal will be reviewed by the Board of Directors or appropriate Committee. It is important that you include all required and relevant information to be properly and fairly considered. If selected, you will be contacted directly by the Fairfield County Chapter. 

For full consideration, the proposed session must clearly identify the target audience and be delivered by a speaker with substantial topic knowledge and experience facilitating a learning environment. Proposals are evaluated against the following criteria:

• Potential to attract and stimulate the interest and concerns of fundraisers
• Programs and best practices that demonstrate measurable impact and results
• Uniqueness of the topic and/or presentation
• Clear, specific, and informative content that is directly linked to the learning objectives
• Application-focused learning objectives that can realistically be met in the time allotted
• Completeness, accuracy, and clarity of the proposal

If you have any questions, please email .

Note: While proposals are welcomed through the year, submissions specifically for Connecticut’s National Philanthropy Day should be made by September for the following year. Programming is finalized in the Fall.
