Seeking International Speakers for the ICMA 101st Annual Conference
Dear ICMA International Members, Affiliates, and Friends:
I am writing to request your help in broadening the international content of ICMA’s 101st Annual Conference, which will be held September 27-30, 2015 in Seattle, Washington. In particular, we need your assistance in identifying potential panelists for the conference's educational program.
If you are aware of individuals from outside the United States who plan to attend the conference and would be interested and able to contribute to the content of the sessions generated by the 2015 Conference Planning Committee, please encourage them to respond to the Call for Speakers, which can be accessed from the conference website at http://icma.org/en/icma/events/conference/call_for_speakers
Please note that we are not able to consider additional session topics at this time. Note, too, that ICMA conference attendees value informal, interactive sessions as opposed to more academic presentations of papers. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Thank you very much for your help.
