Service as Chair

Anyone wishing to serve as a session chair should indicate her or his interest and specific field of expertise on the Conference Registration Form.

The chair should be vigilant in ensuring that the presenters abide by the time limits on presentations. A suggested framework for the panel involves the chair making brief introductory remarks on the focus of the panel and introductions of the panel members. At the conclusion of all the panel presentations, the chair will serve as the moderator for handling questions from the audience.
