Survey for Summer Institute
ACCIS Colleagues,
Now that June is here, the 2010 ACCIS Summer Institute is just around the corner. I am pleased to report that we have reached capacity with 115 registrations!
I now ask all registered attendees to complete a "Post-Registration Survey" on the ACCIS site:
http://www.accisnet.org/2010-ACCIS-Summer-Institute-Survey
This survey gathers some logistics information and assesses interest in the various session offerings. I ask that all registered attendees complete this as soon as possible, but no later than June 10.
