15th Annual State of the States Round Table
NEFA is pleased to host the 15th Annual State of the States Round Table. Proposals are now being accepted.
GUIDELINES
To enhance the roundtable experience for all participants, a structured template has been developed to guide discussions around seven key focus areas. Participants are encouraged to align their submissions with these seven discussion points. Please note that submissions must adhere to a strict two-page limit.
PRESENTATION
During the roundtable sessions, participants will be divided into small regional groups, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to share their insights and prepared content based on the seven discussion points. Additionally, all NEFA 2025 attendees will have electronic access to the full set of submissions.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
To join NEFA’s State of the States, use the "STATE REQUEST" link below to submit a request for your chosen state. The committee will confirm if your selected state is still available or suggest an alternative if needed. Preference will be given to presenters residing in the state they wish to represent.
