Schedule for the commissioners meetings, April 21-22 in NYC April 5, 2011
Here's the schedule for the April 21-22 APSE commissioners meetings. The meetings are open to reporters in addition to editors.
Every session has an APSE contact person; should you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to either me or the designated liaison for a particular session.
As was the case last year, we do not have an official hotel, and accommodations are growing scarce because it’s Easter week. So if you’re thinking of going but haven’t yet committed, please do so soon.
