- Relevant: Clear content tailored for the Leaders Assembly audience and the field of Jewish camp
- Actionable: Tangible takeaways for attendees
- Engaging: Interactive, and thought-provoking delivery
- Inclusive: Intentional language that speaks with clarity to your target audience (For example, if you plan to address all camp professionals be sure to use language that applies to overnight and day camp.)
- Collaborative: Consider working together across the field, connecting with and drawing on perspectives from other types of camps, movements, regions, federations, partner organizations, etc.
