Dear ASEEES members:
Happy New Year!
As you know, the proposals for the 2012 annual convention are due by Jan. 15, 2012. The call for proposals, with a link to the online proposal site and proposal forms in Word format, can be found at: http://www.aseees.org/convention/cfp.html
We also created a Frequently Asked Questions page for your reference: http://www.aseees.org/convention/proposal-faq.html
Please be aware that we have a new online convention proposal site with some new important changes.
1. The new system will NOT allow you submit an incomplete proposal. So it is vitally important that you gather all the information you need before you start your submission process. However, once you have successfully submitted, you can go back and edit the proposal afterwards.
2. You will have to enter a very brief cv/bio for each participant into ONE text box in the online form. (See the screenshot in the FAQ page - http://www.aseees.org/convention/proposal-faq.html). You will need to gather this information before you start the submission process. You can copy and paste from a Word document.
3. Ask your roundtable/panel participants NOW to go to the ASEEES Members Site and enter/update their information.
* Anyone new to ASEEES should enter their information using New Visitors Registration -https://netforum.avectra.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=ASEEES&WebCode=LoginRequired
* If they have attended the convention in the last 6 years even as non-members, they should already be in our database. They can check this by entering their e-mail address at "Forgot Your Password?" - https://netforum.avectra.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?WebCode=ForgotPassword&Site=ASEEES If their e-mail is in our database, this would allow them to set their password and update any info.
This advance work will save you time by not having to gather their contact info. Once your colleagues are in our database, you as the panel/roundtable organizer will just have to search for the participant's last name and add that person into the proposal.
4. PANEL PROPOSALS ONLY: In addition to the brief abstract describing your panel, we are asking for a 2-3 sentence description of each paper. You will need to gather this information before you start the submission process. This does NOT apply to roundtable participants.
Please contact Wendy Walker at wwalker at pitt.edu<mailto:wwalker at pitt.edu>, or the main ASEEES office at aseees at pitt.edu<mailto:aseees at pitt.edu> for additional information and further assistance.
