the national conference; those who have attended past conferences; all who will
be participating in the conference as speakers or presenters, as
session/program moderators, as moderators of a section, division or roundtable;
or who will be serving on committees, are welcome to apply, as are chapter
members who have no specific role in the conference program.
The winner will submit a
brief written report to the chapter's Award Committee after the conference, and
will be welcome to make a report to the chapter membership at a chapter meeting,
and/or through a posting on the chapter web site.
