[CANUFNET] A note from ISA

[Andy Kenney]

Hi everybody,
 
As you may have already heard, ISA's Conference and Events Committee has
overhauled the structure and policies related to the ISA international
conference. Many of the changes will be invisible to the average ISA member
or conference attendee, affecting mostly staff and the local conference
committee.
 
One of the biggest changes, however, represents an exciting new education
opportunity. Starting in Providence, Rhode Island in 2009, the Sunday
leading into conference week (July 26) will be set aside for a full day of
workshops. We plan to build a matrix of offerings including 2-hour, 4-hour,
and full-day workshops. The topics will range from hands-on climbing
workshops to diagnosis, science, and topics that appeal to all sectors of
our profession. 
 
The reason I'm writing to you (the EGS Committees mailing list) is because
many of you might be interested in presenting one of these workshops. At
this point, we are open to all ideas. We will be accepting proposals through
our online Call-for-Presentations submission site ONLY.  Please visit
http://www.isa-arbor.com/ConferenceUpdates.aspx#2 and follow the
instructions to submit a workshop proposal, or, of course, any proposal to
present at the general conference educational sessions.  The DEADLINE is
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 
 
Thanks!
 
Sharon
