Why are we asking for your resume and your certifications including expiration dates?
We know we are asking a lot by asking you to upload your resume and your certification (including the certification number and expiration date). This is required for accreditation purposes and continuing education credits. Our number one goal is student development, so don't forget that! You won't be disqualified by not having the 'perfect' resume or 37 certifications, we just have to have it on file so we can provide all of our attendees with CECs (and that's important to us as well.)
Who can present?
We are looking for students and faculty/staff from various colleges & universities to present. After all, it is called the Southeast Collegiate Fitness Expo. Community and corporate presentations may be considered with a partnership package. Please see our "Sponsors" webpage if you are looking to sponsor a session.
When are proposals due?
Presentation proposals are due on Friday, October 18th at 11:59pm.
When will you know if you were selected?
Presenters will be notified of selection status via e-mail by mid-December.
