QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about the RFP process or application, please contact Tim Stahlke via email at
tstahlke@austin.utexas.edu or telephone at 512-­‐970-­‐2629.
ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS
To help you prepare your submission, a PDF version of this RFP, for information purposes only, is posted on
the NAEHCY website at http://naehcy.org/conf/present.html. Previewing a copy of the complete
application may be helpful for preparing your online submission. As indicated above, paper submissions will
not be accepted; the paper document provided on the website is only intended to assist in the preparation
of the proposal submission.
The online application system will allow you to return to an incomplete RFP as many times as you
wish. However, you must access your incomplete application from the same computer you used to begin
the application process in order for this feature to work. You must also not clear the "cookies" on your
computer to keep this feature active.
Do not complete or submit your application if you intend to return to it. If you need to come back to your
application, DO NOT proceed to the last page of the application. Proceed to the final page of the application
only when you have completed the application to your satisfaction. There is a notification in the application
alerting you as to where you must stop if you ARE NOT READY to submit your application.
Once you submit your application, you will see a "thank you" notification stating that your application has
been submitted. An email will also be delivered to the lead presenter's email address containing all of the
responses given to the application questions. Please keep this email for your records.
Please note that ALL OF THE QUESTIONS IN THE RFP MUST BE COMPLETED. Incomplete applications will
not be reviewed during the selection process.
APPLICATION SUBMISSION DEADLINE
All applications must be completed and submitted by the close of business on June 15, 2012. Because the
conference will award CEUs to participants for attending any of the concurrent sessions, NAEHCY requires
documentation from speakers about their background, goals, and outcomes for each presentation in order
to meet the requirements of the sponsoring agencies. Your complete application helps NAEHCY provide a
quality professional development experience and CEUs for all conference participants. Presenters will be
notified of the Presentation Review Team’s decisions in late July, 2012.
Thank you for your willingness to support the ongoing success of NAEHCY's annual conference!
