Speaker Selection Guidelines
When developing the summit curriculum, our goal is to provide a balanced program that covers multiple areas of diversity to include, but not limited to, race, gender, disability, religion, socioeconomic background, culture, sexual orientation, etc... The focus of this event and its curriculum is on moving the discussion forward and share ideas on how businesses can improve diversity & inclusion in organizations. Presentations should NOT focus on compliance issues. Presentations are reviewed by the Speaker Committee and are evaluated based on proposed topic, relevance, overall quality of content and its relavance to diversity & inclusion, the HR profession, originality, and educational value, as well as Presenter’s professional speaking skills and references. It is Louisiana SHRM's intent to submit all presentations to the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI) and to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to achieve strategic or general credit for the benefit of attendees. Louisiana SHRM will work with all Speakers to obtain the necessary information to submit presentations for credit.
Speakers chosen will be notified by email no later than December 14th.
We expect presenters:
- To work closely with summit organizers before the summit and meet all deadlines;
- To make no substantial changes in content, format, audio/visual needs, room set-up, identity or number of presenters without prior approval of summit organizers.
- To design and provide high-quality presentations, in electronic format, by the deadline given; and
- To recognize that a summit presentation is an opportunity to share information and is not a showcase for promotion of business, practice, service or products.
