ASPRS will sponsor workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 7 and 8. These workshops are intended to be educational and not for the promotion of vendor software or hardware. Workshops should be impartial and cover a wide range of commercial sources even if a specific commercial vendor employs the instructor. Workshops can be taught as either half-day (4 hour) or whole-day (8 hour) courses. Workshops may not have more than two paid instructors. If there is more than one instructor, only one instructor will be the point of contact for the workshop.

Anyone wishing to propose a workshop for presentation (this would be the person who would be the instructor) must provide the following information to the ASPRS Workshop Director by March 9, 2006:

1. Workshop title

2. 500 word abstract describing the length of the workshop (half or whole day); the goals/objectives and content of the workshop; the intended audience of the workshop including whether it is introductory, intermediate, or advanced material; and, names of instructors

3. Instructor(s) brief vitae

4. Whether or not this is an established or a newly developed workshop and whether these instructors have given this workshop in the past

5. If it is an established workshop, provide a copy of the most current workbook/materials

All workshop proposals will be considered for this meeting and the National Workshop Director will notify those selected for inclusion in the Workshop Program.

In addition to considering new proposals, the Workshop Director will recruit additional workshops to complete a well-balanced program, minimizing subject overlap and maximizing the quality of the overall Workshop Program. Anyone wishing to propose a workshop for consideration should contact ASPRS Workshop Director Russ Congalton at 603-862-4644 or russ.congalton@unh.edu for instruction. ASPRS reserves the right to cancel any workshop that does not have sufficient enrollment 30 days prior to the start date.
