Call for WSSCA / WJOA Annual Conference Breakout Session / Workshop Proposals

Deadline Extended Through Monday, September 28

Submit Your Proposal Here

WSSCA Conference Proposal Selection Criteria:

Please only submit a proposal if you are available to present any day of the conference - February 25 or 26, 2027.

Each proposal is evaluated by the WSSCA Conference Planning Committee. Many factors are considered in the selection of presentations, including:

• The topic is of high interest and relevant to today’s school safety leaders.

• Objectives are clear and can be met in the designated time allotment. Most workshops are about 55 minutes in length.  A limited number of longer (75 to 110-minute) workshop sessions may be available (these longer sessions should be interactive/hands on).

• The presentation will be engaging and interactive (large speaker panels are discouraged).

• The concept or solution presented:

• • Is innovative or affirms a best practice.

  • Is providing positive, tangible results in enhancing/improving school safety and/or security.

  • Can be replicated in other schools or school districts.

• Audience members have a clear “takeaway” from the presentation.

• The Conference Planning Committee is encouraging a collaboration/partnership between our WSSCA Corporate members and practitioners in developing workshops that highlight how a safety or security critical incident/situation was addressed or an effective solution that was implemented in a school or school district. The presentation is NOT to be used as a “hard sales pitch” by businesses. 

• The proposal is well written and complete.
