Friday, 2008.
We would like to ask your participation. This is not an empty
solicitation, you will be responded to, and this is a direct path to
having your
voice heard...join in! You can download “AAM Session Proposal Guidelines

What can you do?
For those who attended the 2008 AAM conference in Denver, look over your
notes and
think back for a moment. Send me your comments as to what were the
outstanding
topics or individual speakers that you saw. What were the issues that you
would like
to see addressed again, in greater detail, or perhaps differently? Even if
you
didn't attend, take a moment to review the same questions: what
information or
topics need to be explored in a forum where so many diverse associates
gather? What
should we, as a committee, be looking at as our important, central concerns?
DEADLINE FOR Media&Technology ENDORSEMENT is July 11, 2008.
Again, thanks to you all for being a part of this committee. I look
forward to our
further conversations.
My best,
Herminia Din
