Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 2009 Conference, I would
like to remind you this Saturday, November 15th, is the deadline for:
- Proposing new program threads,
http://www.systemdynamics.org/conferenc ... hreads.pdf
and
- Proposing special interest group activities for the Bonus Day
http://www.systemdynamics.org/conferenc ... nusday.pdf
A number of new threads and Bonus Day activities are currently being
considered. Some of these initiatives require expressions of interest
and support from the Society Membership (YOU!) to become feasible. I am
providing a list below and encourage you to express your interest to the
point of contact person, particularly if a) you plan on presenting a
paper to the proposed new thread, or b) would like to stay for the Bonus
Day and attend the SIG activity.
