Is the session organizer the same person as the presider?
A. Not necessarily. The session organizer is the person who has organized and submitted the session and is listed on the form as the contact person who will receive the program copy proofs in July. The session organizer’s name will not appear in the Program unless that person is also participating in the session. The presider will introduce the session and the speakers at the convention and is responsible for directing the session, enforcing time limits, and providing the required fifteen-minute discussion period. The presider’s name and affiliation are listed in the Program. Session organizers may list themselves as presiders for their sessions, but it is not a requirement.
