CCSA’s Issues of Substance 2023 Conference Planning Committee
CCSA’s Issues of Substance 2023 Conference Planning Committee is responsible for the planning and coordinating CCSA’s biennial national conference. The committee works in conjunction with the conference planning firm and the Conference Program Committee.
The Conference Planning Committee assists CCSA in:
- Establishing the conference theme, based on guidance from the Program Committee;
- Providing direction to the Program Committee, including identifying possible keynote speakers and reviewing the draft program;
- Approving the call for abstracts process and the draft and final programs, as recommended by the Program Committee; and
- Working with the conference-planning firm to manage logistics, including onsite venue requirements, online platform options, online transactions, participant registration, and food and beverage requirements.
The conference could not take place without the dedication and efforts of this group. CCSA would like to thank the members for their contributions.
