New Member "Speed Meeting": Meet the ASC Board

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract/Description

For the first time, the ASC is piloting a new type of session we are calling “speed meetings” intended to smooth the integration into the ASC for new members and those attending their first (or second) conference. Modeled after the “speed dating” format, these sessions give new conference participants a chance to meet fellow newcomers as well as the members of the ASC board in a structured but informal setting. The session will consist of a series of 5-minute introductions where new members can share their interests, meet new and experienced members of the Society, and ask any questions they have about the world of the ASC. Participants may arrive not knowing anyone in the ASC, but they will leave with a dozen new connections. Participation will be limited for space reasons on a first come, first serve basis.
