National Steering Committee
Our National Steering Committee (NSC), made up of 40+ professionals from across the United States and Canada, reviews proposals to create high-quality, content rich learning opportunities for our annual transit and community development conference.
Call for speakersÂ
Thanks to everyone who submitted for the 2024 Call for Speakers earlier this year.
What is the process?
April  After the Call for Speakers closes, proposals will be read, sorted and ranked by members of our National Steering Committee (NSC).Â
May  The full National Steering Committee will meet to discuss proposals and curate topics and sessions. Individual NSC members will choose specific sessions to coordinate. NSC coordinators may reach out to you about your proposal.Â
June  The full National Steering Committee will meet again to review and vet proposed conference sessions. This is a back and forth process, involving critique of individual sessions and the program as a whole. Speakers and topics may be adjusted at this point.Â
July  National Steering Committee members will reach out to confirm speakers for sessions and confirm the content to be covered.Â
August  All proposers will have a final decision about whether they will be speakers or not in 2024.Â
September-early October  National Steering Committee coordinators will meet with their session’s speakers to go over the flow of content and audience engagement at the conference.Â
