Join Us for "The SID Experience"

Join us for "The SID Experience," on Monday, July 4 at 11 a.m. at this year's workshop. This unique "tri-panel" is good for all ages! Whether you are a newcomer to the profession or a veteran in our business, you will be able to provide your thoughts and get comments from colleagues that fit you at this time in your career.

Three panels are scheduled. SIDs with five or less years experience can join Danny Kambel (Florida International) , Tom Machamer (New York U.) and Chuck Sadowski (New Haven) in Salon E. For SIDs with 6-15 years in the business, they can hear from Jamie Weir (Harvard), Judy Willson (Louisiana-Monroe) and Jamie Zeitz (Jacksonville) in Salon F. In Salon A-B, SIDs with 16 and more years in the profession will join Steve Conn (Yale), Justin Doherty (Wisconsin) and Eric McDowell (Union).

Each of these sessions are geared specifically towards that experience level, with SIDs who are in that experience range. They can relate to you because they are one of you or have been there before. Each group will have discussion leaders, coming from the CoSIDA Board of Directors, the Workshop Committee and the Career Enhancement Committee. These groups want to know what you are thinking.

Maybe you have a topic that you wish to discuss? If so, there will be two ways to provide us with your questions and ideas:

Look for the Suggestion Box at Registration, Sunday (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) and Monday (the box will be available from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m., while Registration will continue until 11 a.m. Monday).

Email your question, your name and affiliation, and how many years you have been in the business, to Eric McDowell at mcdowele@union.edu. He will forward your comments to the respective panelists.

We look forward to your thoughts and look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia.
