Faculty Proposals for WFS Leadership Training Seminar now being accepted

Request for Proposals
7th Biennial Fire Service Women's
Leadership Training Seminar
Phoenix, Arizona
April 7-9, 2006

We are inviting proposals for workshops to be presented at our Leadership Training Seminar next spring. 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);

-- Documentation of your credentials for presenting the workshop

-- Length of workshop session (2 hours or 3-1/2 hours);

-- 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 who are in, or seeking promotion to, line officer, administrative and management positions in the structural or wildland fire service. Workshops must fit into either a 2-hour or 3-1/2 hour format. Faculty members will be expected to present their workshop twice.

A very few faculty members will be selected through this process, so the quality and comprehensiveness of your proposal are very important. If you have presented 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.

WFS will cover faculty travel and lodging expenses, as well as a small honorarium. Faculty will also receive a complimentary registration to the seminar.

Workshop proposals must be received by October 7, 2005. The WFS Board will review the proposals at its fall meeting and select the faculty by November 21. Proposals may be e-mailed to , or mailed to WFS, P.O. Box 5446, Madison, WI 53705

If you have questions about the seminar, please , or call us at 608/233-4768.
