Interest Group Conveners

Details on responsibilities

Interest groups are a loosely formed group that comes together for a common interest. The Interest Group is convened at the USAIN Conference where interested parties can discuss issues of concern. Interest Group Conveners work with the program planning chair to make sure the USAIN Conference reflects the interest of the membership.
