Request for Proposals
10th International Conference of Fire Service Women
Denver, Colorado

We are inviting proposals for workshops to be presented at 10th International Conference of Fire Service Women, to be held at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Denver, Colorado, April 23-27, 2003.
If you are interested in being part of the faculty for this event, please submit a proposal that includes the following information:
| ? |
?? |
Subject and title of the workshop, and a comprehensive description of its content; |
| ? |
?? |
?Explanation of the type of workshop (i.e., lecture, facilitated group
discussion, interactive/practical); |

?? |
?Length of workshop session (see options below); |

?Description of special equipment or facilities required; |

?Maximum number of attendees per session, if limited. |
We are looking specifically for high-quality workshops and experienced
faculty who will present concrete, usable information and training to women
in (or seeking to enter) the structural or wildland fire service. Workshops
should fit into a 2-hour or 3-1/2 hour format. (A very few all-day sessions
will also be offered.) You may be asked to present your workshop more than
once.
To help us pick the best workshops for our conference, the quality and comprehensiveness of your proposal are very important. If you have taught the workshop before, you may submit a videotape of the session or names of references who have taken the workshop as part of your credentials.
Faculty members will receive a complimentary registration to the conference,
not including extra items such as banquet tickets. All other expenses, including travel and hotel costs, are the faculty member's responsibility. We are not normally able to provide an honorarium for most faculty members.
To receive full consideration, all workshop proposals should be received no
later than October 1, 2002. The WFS Board will review the proposals at its
fall meeting and select the faculty by November 15. Proposals may be sent by
e-mail to , or mailed to:
