Preliminary Program
If a chair is listed as “coordinator,” that means that the chairmanship is still open. Please contact the panel coordinator if you are interested in chairing a particular panel. Participants are generally allowed to chair only one panel, or two if otherwise making only one other appearance at the conference. If you are already chairing a forum, you may also chair a panel.
The AATSEEL Constitution restricts participation in the annual AATSEEL meeting to members in good standing. In conformity with this requirement, on 1 October all persons listed in the Preliminary Program who are not current members of AATSEEL (or who have not received written approval of a membership waiver request) will be eliminated from the final program. All persons listed on the program must preregister for the conference by 30 September.
