[Sci-tech-public] 2008 AAAS Leadership Seminar in Science and Technology Policy

[Bethany Spencer]

Dear Colleague:

AAAS is pleased to announce its 2008 Leadership Seminar in Science and Technology Policy, scheduled for November 17-21.  The Seminar, a condensed version of the widely-hailed orientation program for AAAS S&T Policy Fellows, will include sessions on how policy is made in areas ranging from stem cell research to climate change, on federal budgeting for R&D, on how scientists can be effective in interacting with Congress, on science and regulation, and many other topics. Speakers include leading personalities in science and technology policy. The Seminar is designed for anyone who needs or wants to know how S&T policy is made -- scientists and engineers, managers and administrators in all sectors, association officials, government agency program managers, embassy science diplomats, and others.

To be held at AAAS headquarters in downtown Washington, DC, the Seminar will run from 11 a.m. on Monday, November 17, to noon on Friday, the 21st. The deadline for registration is September 15.  However, since participation is limited to approximately 30 people, spaces will fill up quickly.

The 2007 program is available at http://www.aaas.org/spp/leadership; this year's will be posted soon.

Attached is the 2008 Seminar brochure and registration form.  To register now and secure your place in the Seminar, please fax back the registration page with credit card information, or let me know that a check is in the mail. 

Please feel free to forward this message to colleagues who may be interested.
