  1. Suggestion(s) for 2012 Workshops/Sessions.



  1. Suggestion(s) for 2012 Conference THEME.


    If you have a "concern" please offer a "solution". A "concern" without a suggested "remedy" is a complaint that is likely to be ignored. The IAAE Board has already voted, this vote cannot be changed.
