Thank you to each person who took the time to create a proposal in order to share your knowledge and insights with the region. A shoutout to our content development subcommittee who worked to spread the word about program proposals in new venues and facilitated the collection of presenter nominations. Following the deadline for program submissions, state reps and members of the program committee were assigned proposals within specific topic areas and shared their feedback with our travel team. That team provided keen insights as we created our slate at the Mid-Year meeting in Huntsville. The slate was finalized with an intentional focus on providing a robust assortment of programs that provided engagement and learning for the many audience levels, functional areas, and institution types while balancing state representation. Below you can see the acceptance rates by topic area, target audience and state representation. 15https://forms.gle/bs2SwbvRzTQW4dz36
