NARST members are encouraged to propose virtual events to meet the needs of the membership and/or to benefit NARST as an organization and beyond.
Virtual events are defined as any event that is offered as either a recorded, synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid format. These events may include town halls, webinars, workshops, short courses, or other related activities that occur outside of the dates of the annual conference.
Virtual events should be designed to be inclusive of the membership and open to all who would like to participate. These events should also align with the mission and goals of the NARST organization.
Proposed events will be advertised using NARST listservs and social media accounts and proposers are asked to submit a short report to provide information regarding the session following its conclusion.
The NARST Series options are:
- Presidential Series – planned by current NARST President
- Committee Series – planned by one or more NARST Committees
- RIG/Strand – related to a specific RIG or Strand topic
- Research to Practice Series – focused on translating research into practice
- Town Hall – opportunity for membership to discuss and interact around an issue
- Other
The quarterly submission deadlines will be:
- March 1 for sessions in April - June
- June 1 for sessions in July - September
- September 1 for sessions in October - December
- December 1 for sessions in January - March of the following year
Calls for proposals will be issued in advance of each deadline.
If approved, virtual events will be sanctioned by NARST and covered by the general liability insurance policy. Proposed events may utilize the NARST Zoom Account and are asked to submit a short report to provide information regarding the session following its conclusion.
