NAPA 401(k) Summit Program Roles

To facilitate the provision of the highest quality content, we rely on the assistance of three key types of volunteers: Session Owners, Provocateurs, and Presenters. Each has a distinct but critical role in building and presenting a successful session. The updated Summit agenda is available on our website.

Session Owners are NAPA 401k Summit Steering Committee Members who are responsible for:

  • Development of session topic and key points
  • Identifying and inviting speakers
  • Coordinating the development of a single inclusive session presentation (all slides, in order, in a single PowerPoint deck) & any corresponding handouts
  • Ensuring focus on the three key take-aways of the session in the presentation
  • Submission of presentation and handouts (if applicable) to NAPA staff

Speakers/Presenters:

  • Adherence to ARA speaker policies
  • Participation in speaker preparation calls
  • Contribution of content development and speaker slides
  • Presentation of key points to audience

 

Provocateurs:

  • Introduction of the session topic and presenters at the beginning of the presentation
  • Facilitation of interaction with audience and between session speakers, as necessary
  • Distribution of continuing education instructions to attendees at conclusion of session
