[Esip-preserve] Call for sessions - ESIP winter meeting

[Ramdeen, Sarah]

Hello Everyone,



We were not able to have a telecon meeting this month, but we do have an action item to work on.  Abstracts for the winter session are due by Oct. 31st.  (See details below concerning the theme and the process for submitting an abstract).  As a committee, is there a specific session we would like to host at the January meeting?  Please respond to the list if you would like to 1) contribute an idea and 2) if you would be interested in working on the session and 3) if you would like to take lead on the session.  I can work with those interested to develop an abstract if needed.



Thank you,

Sarah
