Idea Exchange - Facilitators Needed
Submission Deadline: Friday, July 18, 2008

The Idea Exchange is:

•An excellent way for a small group of attendees to have an in-depth discussion on a particular topic;
•An opportunity for you to take part in the educational mission of AHP;
•A forum to share your expertise with conference attendees.

Idea Exchange format:

•The Idea Exchange session will be held on Thursday, September 25, 2008 from 3:45 – 5:00 pm.
•Each Idea Exchange table will consist of up to nine conference attendees and one facilitator. Conference attendees are asked to select their preferred Idea Exchange topics when they visit the AHP registration desk at the conference.
•Each session will consist of a seventy-five minute discussion about a development-related topic.
•The facilitator opens the Idea Exchange session with a short (approximately 15 minutes) presentation and then leads the group in a 60 minute discussion on that topic.
•Idea Exchange facilitators are required to provide attendees with a handout for the session. Facilitators are also responsible for providing the appropriate number of handouts.
