Spring Conference 2017: Call For Presentations
Re: Call for Spring Conference Presentations
MASA Members,
The Program Committee for the 2017 MASA/MOSPRA Spring Conference is calling for presentation proposals. We believe that a strength of the conference is the outstanding breakout sessions. Through surveys and discussions, we have assembled a list of topics to consider (see below), but we will accept proposals beyond this list.
Deadline for proposals: November 18, 4:00 p.m.
Please go to this link to submit your proposal: https://goo.gl/forms/ez6iO7wR6LgaCGSs1
MASA/MOSPRA does not accept proposals by vendors; however, should a member wish to involve a vendor in a presentation, this is acceptable. Please check with MASA or MOSPRA in advance.
You will be informed of the acceptance of your proposal by December 9, 2016.
If you have questions, please contact MASA (573) 638-4825 or email david.luther@mcsa.org.

- Transition to ESSA and MSIP 6
