Hi Shay,
We put the registration link at the end of the post but I forgot to add it to the schedule. Thanks! I’ve done that now.
Memberships range from $30 for low income/students to $60 professional.
Registration fees are as follows:
Registration Member Non-Member
Before 4/15/2011 $80 $125
4/15/2011 – 5/12/2011 $95 $140
After 5/12/2011 $115 $160
in the schedule, from 11am to 12:15, it looks like there are two panels and one workshop. are they all going on at the same time and we can only choose one to attend? if so, bummer! ; / both panels look great to me, it’ll be hard to choose!
Yes, we do have two wonderful panels opposite each other. (I have the same dilemma about what to attend!) We build our symposia programs based on the quality and diversity of proposals we receive–and when we get so many good ones, we have to schedule panels opposite each other. That’s one reason we want to have a luncheon where everyone can meet and share resources–it’s another chance to talk with the presenters.
Dear sisters,
What a powerful event!
I was referred to you by my colleague Isadora Leidenfrost, who presented her wonderful work this year.
I’d love to receive your contact information to explore bringing my work to your 2012 symposium, which I hear from Isadora, will be held in San Francisco. Please let me know who I can contact.
Many blessings on your work!
Thanks, DeAnna! Keep checking this web site for announcements about next year’s conference. The Call for Proposals will begin in September. Hope to see you there.
