• Ensure the timing for the conference sessions is consistent with the venue contract (with  APPI Administration).

Sponsorship Committee
​• Contact sustaining sponsors (APPI Administration provides background information).
• Pursue new sponsorship opportunities.
• Follow the APPI Sponsorship program established in Policy.
• APPI Administration distributes the sponsorship package and coordinates payments with the sponsors.

Please reply to the APPI office by noon on Wednesday, January 2, 2019, by emailing [email protected] with the following information:

1) Why you are interested in joining the conference team,
2) Your first and second choice for either the Program or Sponsorship Committee, and
