Annual Convention Participation Announcements

Dear Colleague,

We understand that there was a error on the web page indicating that notifications for acceptance/rejection to the program would be sent out by September 28th, which was the deadline for last year's convention. As a result of the typo, the program chairs have been queried by a number of you regarding why you may not have received a notification last Friday.

Please note that the error was made at HQ and in behalf of all of us there, I apologize for the error. The program chairs have met all the deadlines despite a record setting, tremendous volume of applications for the San Francisco program.

Note as well that all the notifications are being e-mailed today and tomorrow.

Again, my apologies.

With best regards,

Tom Volgy
