SIG Leadership

Our SIGs are led by a dedicated team of Chairs and Vice Chairs. They organize engaging sessions at the annual meeting, facilitate knowledge sharing within the SIG community, and promote collaboration among SIG members. 

 

How it works:

Rotating Leadership: The Chair and Vice Chair roles rotate yearly, one as a Vice Chair and then one as a Chair. 

Decision-Making: The current Chair decides on the session topics and speakers for the upcoming annual meeting.
