Program Committee

The Program Committee solicits and evaluates abstracts submitted by the membership and individuals interested in speaking at the conference, selects the papers and posters to be presented, coordinates the speaker introductions and book draw during the conference and reviews the evaluations after the conference. Through the Annual Conference, AASCIN promotes the exchange of knowledge, skills and ideas relating to SCI among nurses, other healthcare professionals and interested consumers.

The goals of the committee are to:

• Plan the conference based on the needs of the members and feedback
• Coordinate the ANCC application process for accreditation
• Coordinate the film festival
• Coordinate the book draw
