OUR NEXT LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PRESENTER: YOU!
Do you have what it takes to be our next Leadership Institute presenter? Do you have a message that you believe will resonate with brothers from around the country? Do you have a unique personal narrative that you’d love to share? If so, we want to make you a star!

We’re inviting brothers from all walks of life and of all ages to participate in our first ever video submission contest! We’re looking for a Sinfonian to give a 60-90 minute presentation, on the topic of your choice, at Leadership Institute 2010 in Evansville, Indiana. Could it be you?

Our winner will receive free registration at LI2010, free travel and lodging, and perhaps most importantly, a Speaker’s Fee of $500! That makes for a wage of about $333 an hour. Pretty good money!

CONTEST: Between now and January 15, we want you to record a video - between 60 and 90 seconds - and send it to us at the NHQ - email your submission to sinfonianhq@gmail.com. You can record with your chapter, with just yourself, with a group of brothers, or anything in between. We’ll judge the submissions based on a few categories:

1. Presentation Quality: This isn't speech class, but we're looking for someone with a polished presentation - someone who looks like they've done this before.
2. Personal story: We’re looking for a brother with an interesting personal story to tell.
3. Creativity: Get creative with these videos folks. We’re looking for someone interesting, exciting, and creative to represent the brotherhood at Leadership Institute.
4. Topic Relevance: We want a topic related to Leadership that’s relevant to brothers from all walks of Sinfonia. Don’t tell us about a problem you overcame that’s specific to your campus - try to be relatable to all Sinfonians.

All brothers - collegiate and alumni - are eligible. We'll even consider submissions from multiple brothers, though we reserve the right to limit the prize payout. Additionally, because the number and quality of the submissions we'll receive is unknowable, we reserve the right to end the contest at any time.

We’ll review all of the submission and select our favorites - then it’s up to the brotherhood! On February 1, 2010, we’ll post the videos at a special www.sinfonia.org website. Each brother will get one vote for their favorite video and their favorite presenter. They’ll select one brother to present at Leadership Institute 2010!

What are you waiting for! Submit your video explaining your idea for a session at Leadership Institute 2010 to sinfonianhq@gmail.com.
