Organizing committee
The following people serve on the Biennial Conference organizing committee, helping to identify keynote speakers, symposium and session organizers, and potential sponsors. In addition to organizing the conference, these people are the point of contact for their organizations and can help answer your questions. The 15th Biennial Conference would not be possible without their hard work!
