[Three Rivers TESOL] Asking you a favor for the Fall Conference...

[Bill Price]

Dear Three Rivers TESOL members,

The Fall Conference is coming up in a few weeks. Thanks so much for
registering to attend!

I'm writing today to ask you a favor. Our conferences are a collaborative
community effort, and one of the ways we help each other is to chair each
other's presentations.

*What does a session chair do?*

Session chairs have two main duties:

   - Briefly introduce the speaker(s) at the start of the presentation
   - Keep track of the time so that the speaker(s) don't run over

If you're interested in attending a specific presentation anyway,
volunteering to chair that presentation is a great way to ensure you'll
have a chance to chat with the presenter one-on-one to coordinate and to
get to know them better, so you can also think of it as a networking
opportunity.

*Please check out our presentation schedule and sign up here:*

The *red* cells show where we still need chairs. The *green* cells show
filled slots. Please take a look at the presentations and consider
volunteering to be the chair for one or more that you're interested in
attending. (Just make sure you'll actually be able to attend that
presentation-- don't sign up for two in the same time slot, for example! :))

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Best,
Bill Price
Three Rivers TESOL Webmaster
