Session Proposals for 2012 TAM Annual Meeting - Due July 15!

Here's a message from Melissa Prycer, a TAM Council Member (and former TAMEC Chair):

With TAM in August this year, several things have been thrown slightly off-kilter. A big one: the program committee for the 2012 conference has their first meeting on July 8. Which is before our 2011 conference! As a colleague pointed out “I always get my good ideas for sessions after the conference, not before!” So they really, really need our help. Proposals are just barely trickling in.

So, if you have an idea, get cracking!

Here's a link to the Session Proposal Application. Deadline is July 15th.

And in the mean time, if any of you might be willing to speak on some sessions ideas I have, let me know!

My ideas:

Teen Volunteer Programs: I want to feature our Junior Historian program (they’re opening their first exhibit next week!), but there need to be some other voices. And it doesn’t have to be from a history museum perspective.

Budget Realities: Just about all of us are now working with smaller budgets, smaller staff, smaller everything. As an educator, how do you decide what to cut? How do you “make do” in this new economic reality?
