Introduction

The Program Planning Committee includes volunteers from the ALAO membership and is chaired by the current Vice-President/ President-Elect of the organization. Each year, the committee develops a theme for the upcoming conference, sends out a call for proposals for presentations and poster sessions, performs a blind review of the proposals, constructs the program schedule, selects a keynote speaker, selects the venue for the next year's conference, coordinates the current year's conference facilities, contacts vendors to exhibit at the conference, arranges for the conference attendee gifts, and processes evaluations after the conference. The committee generally meets once a month and frequently correponds by email in between meetings.

The committee work is arduous, at times, but great fun as well. If you would be interested in serving on the 2007 Program Planning Committee, please contact Ann Watson (watsona@denison.edu).
