A professional presentation team is indispensable

For optimal benefit and sponsorship determination by the party receiving the presentation (the receiving party)—and therefore for K–12 student performance—this explainer site should initially be presented only by a professional presentation team.

Federal agencies, congressional offices and committees, major corporations, and foundations are invited to review this explainer site and work with HSe4Metrics to arrange a presentation by an independent professional team selected by the receiving party and trained by HSe4Metrics.

Who would pay for a presentation

The receiving party could select the professional team of its choice to make the presentation. Whether the team selected is an internal marketing department or an outside agency, the receiving party would bear the presentation team’s costs of preparing for and delivering the presentation.

HSe4Metrics itself is not a professional presenter. However, at no cost for its own time, HSe4Metrics would train the selected team—thereafter referred to as the presentation team—whether composed of professional marketers, lobbyists, or others.

The presentation team would bill the receiving party for time spent studying the explainer site, receiving training from HSe4Metrics, preparing a presentation specifically for that party, and delivering the presentation.

If the presentation team subsequently makes a paid presentation to another receiving party, the initial receiving party would receive a rebate equal to half of the training cost it paid.

Possible full or partial offsets of presentation costs

The organization requesting a presentation would be charged only the amount billed by the team, with no additional fee charged by HSe4Metrics.

• Possible reimbursement of presentation costs. If a prospective sponsor contracts for a presentation and subsequently applies to become the sponsor but is not selected, its presentation costs might be reimbursed, in part or in full, by the applicant ultimately selected as the sponsor.
  
  
• Possible federal funding. Even if the presentation team’s cost is relatively insignificant to a prospective sponsor compared with the potential benefits of sponsorship, the federal government could fund all or part of that cost, subject to applicable legal, appropriations, and procurement requirements.
  
  
• Possible limited fundraising campaign. Alternatively, if federal funding is unavailable and otherwise promising corporations and federal agencies hesitate to arrange presentations because of the cost, HSe4Metrics could launch the limited fundraising campaign discussed on this website for the sole purpose of retaining a professional presentation team.

These funding approaches could help offset the cost of professional presentations for prospective sponsors.
