National Indian Education Association Membership

On October 18-19, 2012, the National Indian Education Association (NIEA) conference will be held in Oklahoma City, OK. According to the Sweet Grass Project grant, we said we would have a presentation at a national conference in which you, the Sweet Grass participants, would present. The theme of the NIEA conference this year is about learning in a digital age.

Here's what's what:

1. If you are interested in presenting at this conference, go to http://niea.site-ym.com/?page=MembershipReg and submit your membership registration. Register as a student and indicate that you're going to pay by check.
2. After you have registered for membership, send me an email so I know you are interested in presenting at this conference and that you have submitted an application for membership.
3. Partner up with one of your peers. Each conference session (presentation) allows for 2 presenters. Let me know who you want your presenting partner to be. (Make sure your co-presenter knows about it!)
4. We have to submit presentation proposals before August 2. Now remember that this is a national conference. Therefore, your presentation style and material needs to be relevant to a national audience. We will help you come up with ideas for your presentation if you want to do it. Again, let me know early so I can get your presentation proposal ready before August 2.
5. If your presentation is selected (the first week of September) by the NIEA conference planners, we will make hotel and flight arrangements at that time.

This should be fun and a great opportunity for you. If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as possible!
