Nimbus - 2003 Second Call for Daytime Session Volunteers

[Ebony]

BULLETIN FROM PROGRAMMING

The response to our first Call for Program Volunteers was 
overwhelming! 

But we are still in need of other folks to help out!

A Session Coordinator's duties might include:
--Introducing guests, initiating the Q and A period (if there is 
time), thanking panelists and presenters for their participation, and 
signaling that the session is closed
--Keeping time (extremely important for sessions that are more full 
than others)
--Making sure that the A/V equipment stays in good working order (and 
if not, communicating that to Carole or me)

A Session Chaser's duties might include:
--Ensuring that presenters/panelists have arrived at their assigned 
location at least 5-10 min before session's start (and if not, 
communicating that to me)
--Distributing any literature to the assembled guests and/or 
participants 
--Transcribing or otherwise recording part or all of the session for 
our published proceedings 
(this is a definite *maybe*--we are looking into a separate group of 
Aurors for this task!)
--Taking care of immediate presenter/panelist needs and communicating 
any special situations to me
--Other session-related tasks, as they arise.


The following daytime sessions are still in need of volunteers. I've 
listed the open positions next to the session title
 the slash in 
this case means that we're in need of both positions.
