2012 CMTA IMPACT CONVENTION
Workshop and Presenter’s Guidelines

CMTA is committed to offer the most informational, inspirational and relevant workshops for our convention attendees.   The purpose of these guidelines is to help each workshop applicant meet CMTA’s expectations for a great workshop and overall convention.  This year’s workshop proposals will undergo a new selection process.  Our intent is to identify highly effective workshops that will impact and equip the CMTA convention attendees, to address the needs of their church’s ministries and to encourage them in their spiritual walk.   Workshops must be (1) aligned with CMTA’s mission and statement of faith and (2) consistent with CMTA’s policies and constituency needs.  Proposal applications should be thoroughly completed and submitted in a timely manner. Upon selection of proposed workshops, presenters will be notified of the date and time their workshop will be presented.
