Sunday. If you are interested in participating in this program,

Program for Newcomers/First-timers
The NEAIR Mentor Committee asks concurrent session speakers to identify sessions particularly interesting and pertinent to newcomers. Although Newcomers are invited to all concurrent sessions, the program serves only to highlight sessions that may be of particular interest. When you arrive in Philadelphia, these programs will be available at the conference registration table.
