What's New at NPS This Year?
Advanced Advocacy Session
This year, we’ve added an advocacy session specifically for NPS veterans to help you strengthen and tailor your messages to policymakers from across the political spectrum. Be sure to check out “Tailoring Your Message for Reds, Blues, Purples and Beyond.”
Speed Networking
One of the most requested NPS additions is more time for networking, so this year we’ve added speed networking! ACTE will apply the speed dating concept to the professional world to help you meet and connect with other conference attendees.
Audience Participation
ACTE is incorporating more opportunities for NPS attendees to provide their input during this year’s seminar. We will be seeking your opinion throughout the event on specific public policy questions and incorporating the use of interactive technology to allow you and other attendees to vote and see results.
CTE WORKS! Video Messages
Throughout the conference, we’ll be sharing video messages related to the "CTE WORKS" theme in order to engage the audience, allow you to share how CTE works in your community, and provide examples of effective messages to share with policymakers.
Stand up to be counted for the cause of CTE—join us at the 2012 ACTE National Policy Seminar!
