Instructions for Presenters
We are excited to have you as a new member of a great group of people dedicated to providing top-notch training and education to nonprofit professionals and trustees. Here you’ll find the information you need to take you through each step of the process of being part of the team and making your presentation. If at any time you have a question, contact April for support.
Scheduling
Once your topic has been accepted and a date assigned, please submit your webinar and presenter information online using one of these forms:
- First Time Presenters – if you have never presented with us before
- Returning Presenters – for presenters who have presented before and are adding new sessions
- Additional Presenters – if you have more than one presenter for your session, name them here
Promotion
Participation in Nonprofit Webinars comes with a commitment to promote all of the offered webinars, not only your own webinar.
- Promote the webinars to your mailing list as often as you feel appropriate.
- Promote on Twitter and mention @npwebinars and use hashtag #npweb.
- Like our page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/nonprofitwebinars and invite people to join and attend events.
- Post notices of upcoming webinars to any webinar lists, nonprofit event calendars, and nonprofit groups/listserves you connect to (LinkedIn groups, alumni nonprofit lists).
- Customize and embed the widget below on your website and blog by clicking the get widget button.
Preparation
You will be presenting from your own computer by sharing your desktop, but we need to add some slides to the beginning and end of your deck for our standard intro and closing. Submit your slide deck (in PowerPoint or PDF format) at least 48 hours prior to webinar using Slides Form. We will update your slide deck with our branded introduction slides (we won’t change your template, only add the slides) then send it back to you to use for your presentation.
If you would like to use any polls during your presentation, we will need them to be submitted, using the Polls Form at least 48 hours prior to webinar.
We find that a landline with a headset (as cheap as $20 at Radio Shack) produces the best sound quality.
Presentation
Please log on 30 minutes prior to the webinar to make sure everything is set. We will go over how all of the controls work and what we will be doing to support you throughout your presentation. This is a good opportunity to practice and find any technical glitches well in advance of attendees arriving.
Post Presentation
- We will email you a list of attendees and a full report of in webinar user behavior.
- Please follow up with attendees regarding questions and add them to your mailing list.
- We will email all registrants a thank you note and a link to the slides and archives.
