GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION

These are podium presentations.  Discussion will be from the audience. We will have two people moderating the sessions. Bring your presentation on a thumb drive and give that to our AV techs in the back of the room.  They can load that up in advance. Be sure to be there in plenty of time. Check out the agenda so you know what's going on at the meeting. Also, all presenters are required to register. Don't forget to arrange your accommodations at Skamania Lodge.  And, join the fun on Friday in the afternoon for our Resident Jeopardy competition. Team up and beat that buzzer!
