Abstract	Summary We encourage each of you to consider submitting a carefully constructed proposal to AECT for the 1992 convention scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C. Begin by think-through your ideas. Then outline your proposal using the major sections and guidelines we have suggested in this article. As you write your first draft, do not count words as you go and do not worry about exceeding the length limit. It is much easier to produce a quality proposal by trimming a long draft than by padding a short one. The remainder of the process will revolve around reviewing, revising and polishing. When you are satisfied with your written proposal, have someone else read it to obtain some feedback before sending it to AECT. If you have followed the steps outlined in this article, you can probably feel good about your work and confident about your chances of having your proposal accepted for presentation. But also recognize that acceptance is never guaranteed. There are many variables beyond your control, such as the number of slots open for presenters, biases of the various reviewers, and the fit of your proposal with the emphasized trends or types of different sessions. So, should your proposal be rejected for the 1992 convention, try again next year. Remember, if your proposal is carefully planned and well written, the chances of rejection should be reduced.
