Cordially,
Additional Checklists:
Thank you for participating in our upcoming LERA Annual Meeting! We are excited about this program and your involvement, and we hope you enjoy the conference. To help you prepare, please find information below that you will need in the coming months. Session chairs play a very special role at our meeting; without you, a successful event would not be possible. Please download and read this letter with more complete information about chairing a session at the LERA meeting. Here is a brief summary: 1. Verify program information – Could you take a moment to look up your session information in our online program? Is the listing accurate? If you have changes in the coming months, please let us know and we will update the information in the online program, and if soon enough, in the final printed program that we will distribute on site. We only print one primary affiliation for any given participant, to save space in the printed program, and at this time, we do not print job titles. 2. Contact Session Participants – Early on in this process (in January or February) we ask that you contact your session participants, let them know who you are and how they can contact you, communicate with them how you intend to run the session (how long do you want them to speak?), request information that you need from them, and remind them of the pertinent deadlines involved. We have established a Box folder for your session to help you coordinate the exchange of files between your session participants, but if you prefer another method, then please give them your instructions. You will need to request bios from all session participants, as well as any paper and/or presentation files. Updated versions of files can be uploaded over time, if need be, and Box will over-write files of the same name. Any contact information we might have can be found in the LERA Member Directory. 3. Request biographies, due May 3 – You will need to introduce each participant (panelists, presenters, discussants, etc.) in your session. Unless you prefer to conduct this research and write your own biographical descriptions of each of your session participants, you should request a biography from everyone in your session by May 3rd, 2023. Any contact information we might have can be found in the LERA Member Directory.
4. Request papers and/or presentation files, also due May 3 – Knowing what your session attendees will be presenting is also going to be an important function of chairing your session, and you should request to receive copies of any papers that will be presented in your session, and/or any other presentation files (PowerPoint slides, handouts, etc.) that will be shared. This will help you organize your session, assign discussants as needed, inform LERA of any changes that need to be made (has a paper or topic title changed?) to the online program and/or printed programs in a timely manner, and discussants can then review the information that they are scheduled to critique. Lastly, these presentation files need to be kept on file by LERA to satisfy the requirements for offering CLE credits, as well. Any contact information we might have can be found in the LERA Member Directory. 5. More details about the shared Box file:
6. Forward Contact Information for Session Participants to LERA – Can you please forward contact information for your session participants that may get added to your session lineup to [email protected]? We ask because we plan to send informative emails and mail out participant information at various times throughout the coming months, and if we don't have their contact information on file, you will need to relay this information directly to participants. We also need to add them to various permissions groups so they can access needed resources for the meeting. Any contact information we might have can be found in the LERA Member Directory. 7. Determine and Enforce Time Limits for Session Participants – At the meeting, ninety minutes should be allotted for your session (please check the online program for your session specifics), with time reserved for questions and comments from the audience at the end of the session (usually 10-20 minutes). Therefore, presenters should have about 10-12 minutes each, depending on the number of participants in your session, to present their material. You should determine and communicate these time limits to participants and you enforce the time limits at the meeting. 8. Publish in the LERA Proceedings – If your session will have papers presented in it, then we would invite you to submit remarks as Chair (considered discussant remarks) for publication in the LERA Proceedings of the Annual Meeting. Please let us know by June 27, 2023 if you plan to publish; you will have until July 27, 2023 to actually submit remarks.Author guidelines can be found online, as well as the upload form. Participants in your session authoring and presenting papers and discussants (if any) would also invited and encouraged to submit their papers/remarks. Papers can be submitted anytime between now and July 27th online, and it’s no problem to submit a revised version later if need be.
