Future SEA Brown-Bag Lunches

We are asking members of SEA to volunteer to facilitate the discussion and identify their preferred location.  The methods and measurement topics can relate to a project at your place of employment or a topic of interest you would just like to share and discuss with others.  SEA will announce the topic, the facilitator, and the location at least 2 weeks prior to each session.  There might be a short technical reference shared prior to the session and follow-up among those who have a heightened interest after the session. 

If you would like to volunteer for one of the brown bag sessions, please email your name, the topic, and the location for the session to Mary Kay Falconer at mfalconer@ounce.org.

If you have any recommendations for future workshops, including topics or presenters, please don't hesitate to contact Program Committee Co-Chairs Mary Kay Falconer (mfalconer@ounce.org) or Tamara Bertrand Jones (tbertrand@admin.fsu.edu).  Thank you!
