Presenter Information

The Spring 2010 Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference will held on May 27 and 28 at Loyola University Chicago's Lakeshore Campus.

As workshops are confirmed they will be added to the agenda shown on this web site .   We are now accepting workshop and speaker proposals. Click Here to submit a workshop proposal online

Speakers interested in volunteering to present workshops at the Conference should keep in mind:

  • Workshops should focus on ways volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs can improve quality, build capacity and succeed for the long-term.
  • Topics include volunteer recruitment and training, learning strategies for adolescents and teens, fundraising, evaluation and management activities. See our list of suggested workshop topics that have been requested by participants at previous conferences.
  • Speakers are encouraged to stay for the full day of the conference on which they do a workshop. They do not pay a fee for that day.  If you plan to attend the second day of the conference, you do need to register and pay the one-day fee.  Contact the T/MC with any questions about fees or scholarships.
If you answered yes to these questions, we would like to invite you to deliver a workshop.  If you're not sure, please contact us so we can discuss these expectations.  The Conference is a grassroots effort, and the work speakers do to attract participants helps us to draw the broadest audience possible.
