Chairpersons are responsible for organizing the divisional sections at the annual meeting. This frequently entails more than putting the abstracts for your poster and oral presentations in some logical sequence. Our past meetings have been enhanced by the addition of special presentations, symposia, and workshops. Your division chairs need your help to organize these special events. If you are interested in putting together or participating in something special, please contact the appropriate division chairperson. Note that this year abstracts for poster and oral presentations are to be sent to the Abstracts Editor, John Boyle, who will forward them to the appropriate division chair (see instructions on pages 145-147). Do not send your abstract directly to the division chairperson.
