</p><p>

</p><p>The quality of conference content depends upon YOUR ideas
and contributions, so get those creative juices flowing.   Use suggested
topics from VRA members (see below) or your imagination to propose ideas which
expand our outlooks beyond that which is familiar.  If there is an area of
concern or interest that you feel has not been adequately addressed in previous
programs, do consider participating in this process by submitting a
proposal.  Moderators may put out calls for speakers within a proposed
topic before submission of completed topics.  The VRA Executive Board will
be looking for complete, concise and articulate submissions with lists of
presenters, when applicable.  Specificity regarding audio-visual needs
including live internet connectivity is recommended. </p>
