How to Submit a Proposal
Step 1: Qualify
Selection is based on proposed speaker's qualifications and level of expertise on
proposed subject matter. Selected speakers must hold senior level titles and
possess appropriate technical expertise. Preference is given to ABA Service
Members. Proposals that include a banker as a co-presenter or panelist will
also receive preference. We want to encourage bankers talking to bankers about
what works and what doesn't work.
ABA is dedicated to presenting valuable educations sessions. Therefore please
keep in mind that our telephone briefings are not forums to sell products and
services. Presentations must be issue oriented and cannot highlight an individual
vendor or product.
 Session content should
move past "the basics."
Attendees are looking for
the latest thinking.
Step 2: Complete the Telephone Briefing Proposal Form
 Include banker presenters.
Step 3: If your proposal is selected
Submit via e-mail to [email protected]
 Use case studies and
real-life examples.
 Provide handouts.
