The National Specialist Meeting will have four time periods involving
nearly eight hours of networking opportunities. Please complete and
return this form to sign up for each
of the four networking sessions. For each session, you can select
a topic that is already scheduled or add another topic of your choice
with the hope of attracting other specialists to sign up. Feel free
to add a new topic for a session that is already listed for a different
session time. The person suggesting a topic will be first on the list
and will be considered the leader for that topic for that session.
The more different topics you choose,
the greater variety you will have at the expense of depth. If you choose
four different topics, your opportunities for networking will be varied
but more superficial. If you choose four different topics, the amount
you can contribute to each group will be reduced, potentially weakening
that group's impact. Prioritize your selections.
These are informal networking groups, not workshops or seminars. Approximately
two weeks before the conference, this list will be stabilized and no
further changes will occur.
If you have already submitted a plan and would like to change your
selections, please complete and return the form again. Resubmit this
form as often as necessary (though try to keep the number of submissions
to a minimum to reduce the bookkeeping). Updates to this list will be
made weekly (check the revision date below). If the original leader
has left a topic list, the next person on the list becomes the leader.
Topics that have been orphaned (those who signed up for it have all
chosen different topics) will be removed from the list.
You will be contacted before the conference with more information about
preparing for networking at the conference. Feel free to contact others
who have signed up to begin planning prior to the meeting. Leaders are
responsible for guiding their networking group. Leader responsibilities
will be outlined later. Leadership can be shared or shifted to others
during the conference. Preparation is critical to success. Be sure to
provide your name, state, and email address at the conclusion of the
form. Submissions without this identifying information will not be accepted.
Time constrarints will not allow me to contact you if your submission
appears to be incomplete (e.g., submitting fewer than four networking
choices). Check this page about one week after submitting to check your
selections.
