Annual Awards Reception

I do want to say thank you, Marcia, and others who blazed trails and who are still working to bring attention to the problems.

The sessions will last about 45 minutes and are taking place in the Morehead Room. Anyone interested should look for our table located next to the registration desk to sign up.
I stumbled upon the new website when I typed this in to the browser: http://asis.org
