<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">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.
