Déonda Scott

Great news! Elaine Pulakos of Personnel Decisions Research Institute and current SIOP President will be our opening speaker at the IPMAAC conference in June! In addition, Wally Borman, distinguished professor at the University of South Florida, will speak as MAPAC's invited speaker. WRIPAC will also be sponsoring a speaker. This is one you won't want to miss, so mark your calendar for June 6-10.

Have you considered proposing a pre-conference workshop? What about a presentation on a testing innovation, program management, or assessment as part of the overall HR environment? Panel discussions, symposiums, paper presentations - there's so much to choose from! Considering a topic, but don't want the floor all to yourself and don't know anyone who with whom to co-present? Go ahead and submit a proposal and David and I will try to link you up with someone who proposes a similar topic. Even if you've never presented before, take advantage of this opportunity to share your experience with others, build your résumé, and justify a trip to Florida!

Proposal Prospecting
