Call for Presenters * Ohio Minority Health Institute


The Ohio Minority Health Institute (OMHI) is seeking proposals for presenters at their "Spring Institute," scheduled for March 22-23, 2007. The institute will be held at the Louis Stokes Center on Aging on the campus of Central State University in Wilberforce, OH.

OMHI primarily focuses on training minority community-based organizations across the state on strengthening organizational capacity. The 2-day training and assistance program represents a structure that seeks to help administrators, managers, and health professionals in these organizations become organizationally and financially sound as self-sustaining business and health care providers.

Fresh and innovative proposals on effective capacity building strategies will receive special attention.

To allow presenters time to lecture, have open discussion, engage in "hands-on" training, and engage in topical conversation to a reasonable depth, scheduled presentations will be approximately three hours in length, with additional time for questions, interaction and breaks. Your presentation should be practical, rather than philosophical, and teach skills that the audience can apply immediately in their work.

Your proposal should include:

  • Your speaking qualifications, experience, and three references
  • A one-page abstract of your presentation
  • An outline of your presentation showing the amount of time you would
    devote to each topic
  • A copy of handouts and audience participation tools
  • Your complete contact information (address, phone, fax, email)
Proposals are due by February 2, 2007 to:
Ty Stone, Project Director
Ohio Minority Health
Central State University
College of Business
P.O. Box 1400
Wilberforce, OH 45384
Speakers whose proposals are accepted will be notified by February 16. Potential topics include:
  • Applying for 501 (c) (3) status
  • Locating and applying for grants
  • Business plan development
  • Building an effective board of directors
  • Fundraising
  • Building internal capacity
  • Financial record-keeping
  • Marketing strategy & planning
OMHI is sponsored by the Ohio Commission on Minority Health and Central State University
