First Time Attendees Orientation

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract

If this is the first time you have attended an ASA Annual Meeting, please plan to attend an orientation session at 10:30 am–12:10 pm on Saturday, August 16, prior to the mid-day Plenary on the first full day of program sessions.

This special orientation hour provides the opportunity to meet Association officers and staff and begin networking with professional colleagues. Advice from ASA Officers and experienced attendees will help you chart a course through the myriad activities and substantive attractions.

ASA Secretary Mary Romero and Executive Officer Sally T. Hillsman host this orientation. Pointers on navigating the Annual Meeting will be shared in informal roundtable
discussion. First-time attendees who pre-registered should look for a reminder ticket in their badge envelopes as soon as they pick up their program packets and come prepared
to ask “What makes it work?”
