YOU? A Future Set Apart Workshop Leader?
Workshop Proposals for Set Apart 2024 may be submitted through September 18.
This year’s theme is from Psalm 100:3 “I am His”
This Psalm is rich in worship and acknowledgement of the Lord’s love and faithfulness. We will be looking for workshops incorporating all parts of Psalm 100, as well as other topics which would incorporate the theme. The major emphasis throughout the conference will be on the “I am His” or “We are His”.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Set Apart Workshop Proposal
Do you have a story to tell, a skill to share, or a topic of interest to address? Has God been teaching you life lessons that would be valuable for others to hear about? Are you excited about helping women consider topics through the lens of Scripture?

Workshop Speaker Terms and Conditions
- Workshops must be scripturally based and in agreement with the University of Northwestern - St Paul Doctrinal Statement, Declaration of Christian Community and Set Apart Terms & Conditions.
- Workshop presenters agree to offer their workshop during two out of four one-hour sessions both days (Friday & Saturday) of the conference.
- Workshops are one hour in length.
- Care should be taken in planning the hour to cover content adequately. Trying to fit too much content into one hour is as detrimental to a workshop as not having enough content for the hour.
- Workshops need to be dismissed at the 60-minute mark to allow attendees to get to the next workshop and have the session begin on time.
- Handouts are strongly encouraged. Please plan to create a handout for your workshop. Set Apart will make the copies, up to two pages front and back (four pages total), black and white.
- If possible, the conference theme should be incorporated in the workshop. If that won’t work for a particular workshop, please communicate this to the Set Apart Workshop Coordinator.
- Workshops should not be used to promote product or particular businesses. Product sales or promotions are not allowed in workshops. Any mention of available product or business resources should be a brief mention, less than 30 seconds.
- Opportunity is given to workshop presenters that have written books or have product that they would like to make available to attendees to either consign these items with the UNW Campus Store or purchase a vendor table at the conference to sell items or make guests aware of ministry opportunities or services. Workshop sessions must not be used for this purpose.
- Workshop rooms are generally set up either classroom-style with tables and chairs or theatre-style with just chairs. Workshop styles that require a different type of setup may or may not be able to be accommodated.
- We ask that workshop presenters allow a recording to be made of their workshop during the conference for archival purposes, and to allow presenters a copy of their workshop. The recording will be done using installed equipment in the classroom, using Zoom to record.
- A limited number of workshops will be pre-recorded for the Set Apart Virtual Gathering. These workshops will be selected by the Set Apart Committee.
- Workshop presenters are required to attend an orientation session on the first day of the conference at 8:00 a.m. until approximately 8:20 a.m.
- A host or hostess is provided for each workshop presenter to help facilitate the needs of the presenter and attendees.
- Lunch is provided for each workshop presenter. If the workshop presenter has any specific dietary needs, they should make them known to the Set Apart Workshop Coordinator no later than two weeks prior to the conference. If you bring an additional helper to the conference a meal will be available to purchase. Please inform the Workshop Coordinator no later than two weeks prior to the conference that you would like to purchase a meal.
- Travel expenses are NOT reimbursed for workshop presenters.
- The honorarium amount for most workshops is $100 per session. If the workshop has multiple presenters, the $100 per session honorarium is split between the presenters.
- Workshop presenters who are not University of Northwestern employees will be required to sign a contractual agreement with UNW in order to present.
- Set Apart reserves the right to make changes to the above terms and conditions.
