I'm sending out this extra request for session chair volunteers for this week as we are getting closer to SHARE, and there was a change to the session lineup. If you've been holding off because you weren't registered yet, or you keep telling yourself you'll get to it "this afternoon" or "tomorrow", well we know how the afternoons often go, and we also know that "tomorrow" never truly comes... Today is the best time to take action.
If you've never chaired a session before, try picking one or two up that you're going to attend anyway. Help your peers out, I'm sure they would appreciate it. Here's the current list of open sessions. Don't procrastinate! Jump right in. Send me the session number and title (cut and paste is easiest) of your choice(s) and I'll let you know that I've added you to the list for those sessions.
