Dear BES Members & Friends,
Starting Sunday January 6th, presiders will no longer take announcements
from the audience. If you would like to have an announcement made, please
write it down on an index card and give the card to the presider anytime
before the end of talk, but before announcements begin. The presider will
read your card during announcements. Blank index cards will be available at
the welcome table. Please use the cards (i.e. do not simply hand the
presider a flyer for your event).
This change was made by the Program Committee in response to concerns
raised by members that announcements have gotten too long and are often
eating into time for questions and comments after the talk. It is the
committee's hope that this change will address the issue.
In addition to submitting an announcement to the presider the morning of
platform, you are always welcome to send it to edi...@bemorethical.org and
it will be included in the Society's monthly newsletter.
Please raise any questions or concerns about this new policy at the next
Program Committee meeting on January 28th at 12:30 pm.
Best regards,
Thomas
President
