PLANNING FOR THE 2007 AALL ANNUAL MEETING IN NEW ORLEANS

Join us at the TS-SIS Education Committee Meeting
Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 11:45 AM-1:00 pm
America 's Center, Room 125

Overview

While it may seem way too earlier to think about AALL in 2007, we need to plan now due to the very short time-frame for submitting program ideas after the 2006 Annual meeting. We have lots of flexibility to propose learning opportunities that are important to us, but we need your ideas! If you would like TS-SIS to consider sponsoring your program, please read on …

Theme

The theme for the 2007 meeting in New Orleans is “Rise to the Challenge.” See the incoming 2006/07 AALL President Sarah (Sally) Holterhoff's description at: http://www.aallnet.org/press/ftdo_sally_holterhoff_050106.asp

Deadline if Requesting TS-SIS Sponsorship

Final deadline for submitting your program, workshop or topic to the TS-SIS Education Committee is Friday, August 4, 2006, 5:00 pm PDT.

Process

All TS-SIS Education Committee members are available to assist you. We are open to collaborating with other SIS's or committees. And don't limit your presentation to the traditional 3 talking-head panels. See page 18 in the Handbook for alternative presentation formats.

1. Refer to the Program Planners Handbook for more information at: http://www.aallnet.org/events/ProgramPlannersHandbook.pdf
2. Beginning on p. 32 of the Handbook are step-by-step guidelines for using the online web site to create your proposal. See http://proposals.aallnet.org/
3. You do not need to complete your proposal in one session. You can save your work in progress and log back in as many times as needed to complete your proposal.
4. If you are seeking TS-SIS sponsorship, identify TS-SIS as the sponsor (or co-sponsor).
5. When you have completed your proposal, enter both the TS-SIS Education Committee e-mail address: ts-education@aallnet.org and Rhonda Lawrence's e-mail address: lawrence@law.ucla.edu. Next, when you are ready to share it with the TS-SIS Education Committee, click on the button that says “Share.” Your proposal will then be automatically sent to TS-SIS Education Committee and to Rhonda Lawrence to review.
6. IMPORTANT: Do not click on the “Submit Proposal” button until you have heard from the TS-SIS Education Committee. If you click on the “Submit Proposal” button, the proposal goes directly to AMPC and you will no longer be able to revise it.

When will TS-SIS notify people about sponsorship?

We will notify everyone who has submitted a proposal to TS-SIS no later than Thursday August 10, 2006, whether we will sponsor your program. Individuals may choose to submit any programs to directly AMPC they like without our sponsorship.

Plan to attend the TS-SIS Education Committee meeting, Tuesday, July 11, 2006 from 11:45 AM-1:00 pm, in America's Center, Room 125.
