Speaker Application Process

Thank you for your interest in speaking at the HEAV State Convention & Educational Fair. We are no longer taking speaker applications for the 2012 convention. However, we are currently accepting applications for the 2013 convention.

Each year a great number of applicants express interest in speaking at our convention. In order to consider your application thoroughly, we must have all of the following:

  • Your contact information, including e-mail address, phone number, mailing address, company name, and website
  • A list of all proposed workshop titles and descriptions (50-75 words each) 
  • Your biography (50-150 words) and a high-resolution (300 dpi) digital photo (for publicity purposes)
  • Your requirements to attend
  • References 
  • Current (less-than-one-year-old), hour-long audio recordings of at least two workshops

The first five items above should be submitted as attachments to one e-mail addressed to speakers@heav.org. Please do not send PDF files.

The last item—your current, hour-long audio recordings—can be e-mailed as electronic files or mailed as physical CDs or MP3s. Whichever format you choose, please be sure that your name, the title of the workshop, and the date on which the workshop was recorded are included. By sending your audio recordings, you are consenting to allow HEAV to upload them to a secure site for the speaker committee to access during the review process. Please note: No items will be returned to you. 

E-mail electronic files to speakers@heav.org, or send physical CDs or MP3s to:

HEAV Speaker Committee
P.O. Box 6745
Richmond VA 23230 

Speaker selections are typically made in the fall; if we are able to include your workshops in the upcoming convention, we will contact you with contract details. Our speaker committee will consider all applications received by August 1, 2012, for the 2013 convention. Incomplete requests will not be considered, so please be certain all of the above items are submitted by the deadline.

Thank you again for your desire to serve the homeschool families of Virginia! Please feel free to contact me at speakers@heav.org if I can answer any specific questions you may have about your application.

May God bless your labors,
