Hi.
I need more volunteers to lead workshops at NAUCC beginning at 4 p.m. on
Tuesday, July 13.
We'll be playing lots of games in the gym that evening, but we can run
some workshops too. There will be workshops at various other times
during the convention, from Wednesday through Sunday.
Even if you aren't an "expert," please sign up to lead a workshop or
two. It's all about sharing information, so if you can help get a group
organized, that would be great.
We'll be using a daily message board during the convention to announce
times and places for workshops.
Here's a list of some of the sessions we'll run if we can. Many still
need leaders. Please let me know if you can help out and when.
If you're interested in attending any of these, please respond here or
send me an e-mail. I'll try to notify you of the workshop time and place
once NAUCC begins if I know you're interested in attending.
If you have other ideas for workshops and discussions, please let me
know.
