General Overview
Thank you for serving as an Area Chair. We appreciate your commitment to the academic community and to our associations. Below are the major Area Chair duties:
► Send out Call for Papers (CFP) for your area
► Respond promptly to submissions
► Create panels of 4 presenters around topics
► Submit your panels to the conference coordinator
► Stay in contact with your panelists (helps to ensure attendance)
NOTE: Ideally, panel moderators should get final copies in advance of the papers to be presented and they should interact with presenters about content in preparing for the conference.
While we welcome fresh approaches to subjects, we also appreciate serious commitment to scholarship and to presenting at the conference.
