SHARE is just around the corner, and since you are planning to attend SHARE (you have registered, haven't you?), I'm sure you are ready, willing, and able to consider chairing one or more sessions in San Jose. This is the time to sign up! Last week I received a response from *one (1) *individual. You're not going to let that person be alone on this list for long, are you?
If you have never chaired a session before, it is really simple, and I'm happy to explain to you want's involved. Feel free to email me and ask. For those of you that have done this before, feel free to pick the session(s) you'd like to have, and send that information directly back to me please. We do appreciate your continued participation and volunteerism, and welcome all newcomers to jump right in and help out as well. The sessions that are currently available are below. Thanks!
