If the date change prohibits you from attending the meeting you selected in our pre-event attendee survey, please email Audrey at adesj...@uoregon.edu and let her know what meeting you can attend. I've changed the survey form to reflect the updated schedule. If you haven't already done so, we would appreciate your time in completing the pre-event attendee survey so we have good estimates for our hotel contracts: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=f9XdXEks8G5GvRk3N9445w_3d_3d Thank you.
