The Program Support Committee assists with updating the program manual/handbook containing timetables/summaries from past meetings, analyzing and reviewing meeting statistics and reporting the results to the Executive Committee, and making recommendations on future annual meeting goals and program improvement. The Committee also takes an active role in identifying and recommending future annual meeting sites.

The Program Support Committee is comprised of the following members.

During the fall of 2010, the Program Support Committee used feedback provided by the Annual Meeting attendees to draft a list of possible city locations to host the 2013 - 2015 Annual Meetings. A Request For Proposals (RFPs) was sent to various conference hotels in the cities selected by the committee. Proposals are still under review but cities currently under consideration include San Francisco, San Diego, San Antonio, and Philadelphia!
