*June 5-7, 2009*, following the CEDA Summer Meetings (June 2-5) at WFU
The initiative for a national development conference for policy debate
emerged from the National Debate Tournament (NDT) Board of Trustees
through conversations with the NDT Committee and the leadership of the
Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA). This conference will mark
the third national development conference for intercollegiate debate in
the last half century. Previously, college debate educators have
convened in Sedalia, CO at the Sedalia Retreat House in 1974 and in
Evanston, IL at Northwestern University in 1984.
The conference is a forum for active coaches and directors to examine
commonality on a host of issues related to intercollegiate policy debate
and the coaching profession. One of the primary goals of the conference
is to draft and publish a "State of the Debate Vocation" which addresses
the following themes:
· Professional Development, Research, and
Advancement
· Innovation, Practice, and the State of the Art
· Community and Organization Building
· The Rationale and Agenda for Policy Debate
in the 21^st Century
A productive conference will require the energetic participation of all
members of the debate community---present and past---who find virtue in
the power of a debate education. If you are interested in chairing or
serving as a member of the working groups which emerge from these themes
