The Power of Synergy Agenda

 

We are in the process of inviting the speakers (listed as TBD) for each particular topic.  These are experts in the relevant fields and should provide succinct and stimulating presentations that will provide the motivation for our call to action.  If you would like to be considered for one of these slots, please contact Dr. Rather with your name, CV, proposed title, and an abstract.
