NEFL CAI Speakers Application
The speaker’s application process serves to identify speakers for Northeast Florida Chapter Community Associations Institute (NEFL CAI) programs, roundtables and events. The Chapter will consider speakers who submitted applications.
NEFL CAI welcomes its members as speakers but may use non-members. Applicants may submit proposals for multiple topics.
Presentation Topics
We seek presenters to share leading-edge ideas and inspire enlightening discussions. Topics are selected based on member surveys, success of past events, timeliness of topics and relevance of topics to the community association industry (HOA).
Each program has different goals, objectives and audiences. The Chapter will decide the best fit for the speakers and presentation topics. The goals of all NEFL CAI education, programs and events are to:
