| | - THE PRESENTERS OF TOMORROW - Youth Delegate Program
An exciting new initiative: In the last few years, Ontario has experienced a lack of incoming presenters – both professionally and at the community level. OC is aware of pockets of interest where youth are currently undertaking presenting activity with little or no guidance. In order to assist the young presenters to build on their initiatives, OC is developing a Youth Delegate Program.
For OC 07, each geographic sector of the province is invited to sponsor a youth delegate to attend this year's conference - all expenses paid by OC (registration, travel, accommodation, meals). Two workshops called Presenters of Tomorrow, have been added to the conference schedule, designed specifically to prepare youth to undertake presenting activities.
For further information about sponsoring a youth from your community to attend OC 07, contact Cheryl Ewing, OC Planning Committee Chair at 519-579-8564 or via email: click here. Partner with OC to build the presenting marketplace for the future.
