Back to MESA 2001

One put-together panel remains without a chair. If you are interested, please send an e-mail message to Mark Lowder (mlowder@u.arizona.edu).

Chair responsibilities:
The chair is responsible for introducing each of the panelists and insuring that individual presentations conform to the allotted time. The chair is asked to facilitate the discussion session, not by providing commentary about the papers, but rather by opening the floor to questions for the panelists and insuring that the panel ends at its scheduled time. Each presenter will be expected to give a 15-20 minute presentation, and each session lasts for two hours.

Requirements for program participation: 
current MESA membership and annual meeting pre-registration.
