For 2008, Kris has developed her own sub-committee of highly talented people to assist in getting people to submit abstracts in the various areas of interest: Agriculture, Education, Government, and Industry. We do allow other presentations but she and her committee review each abstract and decide on its relevance to the conference and GIS. This is a very important sub-committee chair and you will need someone that will motivated from the start.
