Charge:
RAPS will offer a multi-day educational education conference for 300-350 people 11–13 May 2020 in Brussels, Belgium and we need volunteers to serve on the Conference Committee. In collaboration with RAPS staff, committee members will:
- Identify topic areas
- review and score abstract submissions
- Create the conference agenda
Composition:The committee will consist of 10–12 members, 2–4 of whom will be selected from a pool of RAPS member volunteers. To ensure representation of a variety of groups, committee members should come from various product sectors and company sizes. However, one requirement is that the committee members must live and work in Europe. One RAPS Education team member will serve as primary committee liaison, with the support, as needed, of additional RAPS Education team members.
Length of Service:Committee members serve one (1) two-year term.
Work Approach:
The committee will conduct most of its work via email, with monthly phone calls in support of that work. The committee will also have one (1) face-to-face meeting on 10 October in Amsterdam for the purpose of reviewing previously scored abstracts and selecting proposals for the conference. Committee members are expected to attend all monthly meetings and contribute to committee projects and team efforts.
