Proposals are solicited for Participation/Class Sessions, of 45 minutes in length, to be presented Thursday, June 20 and Friday, June 21. This year we are focusing the classroom/participation sessions on "how-to" topics. Examples might be long-range planning, volunteer management, and using cemeteries in education.  These sessions are not for presenting research papers unless it's about how to do a particular type of research using the presenter's research as a case study. We encourage panel discussions and will allow more than one time slot if needed. Please send your proposal and a 250-word abstract by February 1, 2013 to Participation/Class Sessions Coordinators: Bob Keeler, robertk at clackamas.edu or Judy Juntunen, rycraftjuntunen at aol.com.
 
Be thinking about a Late Night Presentation...  This year the time slot for Late Night presentations is 15 minutes.  Of course, it doesn't have to be that long.  When you register for the 2013 AGS Conference, be sure to indicate if you would like to present, and your topic.
