2006 NFHS Speech Debate and Theatre Directors Meeting

October 6-7, 2006 - Indianapolis, Indiana

Each fall the NFHS hosts the Speech, Debate and Theatre Directors Meeting. Participants from numerous states and three national organizations attend the conference, which is designed to allow those who direct or coordinate speech, debate or theatre activities on the state or national level to exchange ideas and share information about issues concerning high school activities programs.

This is always a productive and enjoyable meeting for speech, theatre and debate directors, with a series of stimulating presentations and discussions.Most sessions include presentations by one or more of the state directors attending, and time for an open discussion of the issue being addressed. The conference ends with an open 'potpourri' for discussion of issues not addressed elsewhere.

Comments from previous attendees:

• The networking is great, as well as the ideas we gain from each other.
• Lots of great ideas - some that are unique to specific states and others that can be adapted.
• Great exchange from people who really care.
• Each year I learn a lot that helps me in many ways in my office.
• Great interaction. Good to know what succeeds in other states.

If you represent a state speech or debate, forensic coaches, theatre or communication association, we welcome your attendance. If you would like to register, have any questions or need additional information, please contact Angela Hays at the NFHS office.
