FACULTY INFORMATION Central
Thank you for serving as faculty for
The Outcomes Conference 2024
You will be a pivotal part of making this event a success! We are blessed with a stellar lineup of thought leaders like you in our 2024 faculty, offering practical insights into our nine core teaching tracks!
For over 48 years, the Christian Leadership Alliance has equipped and united Christian leaders passionate about transforming our world for Christ. The Outcomes Conference 2024 will allow us to consider what it means to serve as Christian leaders.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2

GENERAL PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
Please weave our conference theme, "Therefore," into your presentation. Conference teaching sessions must be:
- Practical
- Relevant
- Compelling
- Biblically-aligned
- Transformational
- Outcomes oriented
- Interactive
They should be oriented towards leaders of today's Christian nonprofit organizations, although sessions may offer a broad application for any call to Christian leadership regardless of sphere.
-
Interactive Collaboration
Please ensure you allot a good percentage of your time interacting with your attendees. That can include time for questions and answers, feedback, table discussion, idea generation, etc. We find that sessions that fully engage our adult learners will receive the highest evaluation scores.
-
Educational Focus
Presenters have agreed that they will not use the time to promote their organization or its services but share successful practices and takeaways. The quickest way to lower evaluation scores is for faculty members to use sessions for promotional rather than educational purposes.
-
Academic Level
Please seek to teach content commensurate with your selected teaching level: Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced.
DIGITAL HANDOUTS
-
Presenter Handouts Submitted March 3, 2024
We ask that you submit a "handout" for your presentation, as attendees value them. The absence of a "handout" can negatively impact the evaluation scores for your session.
Your "handouts" will be posted in digital format (PDF) so attendees can access them online. We will not provide printed copies of these digital "handouts" onsite.
-
Guidelines
- Your "handout" should offer information that complements your presentation.
- It can include an outline/overview and the key takeaway for attendees.
- It can offer additional information, including links to recommended resources to go deeper.
- Please limit your PDF to a max of 3 pages. Less is fine.
We will not be posting your PowerPoint "slides," but feel free in your classroom to offer for attendees to follow up with you directly post-event if you would like to share those.
MODERATORS
An Alliance "Moderator" will be assigned to each teaching session. Their role is to introduce you, recognize sponsors, encourage attendees to complete evaluations of your session and be there to pass along any technology/hotel needs that arise during your session. They will share about CPE credits as well. They will also be checking the name badges of attendees. The moderator will introduce himself/herself before the start of your session.
CPU CREDITS
Attendees are eligible for NASBA/CPE, CFRE, and CCNL credits. Our conference website features additional information.
EXHIBIT | SPONSOR
Faculty who also elect to do an onsite exhibit create a win-win opportunity for fruitful relationship-building with attendees. Want to learn more about opportunities to exhibit or sponsor at The Outcomes Conference 2023?
