Program Committee, ESA Eastern Branch

1. The Eastern Branch Program Chair is usually appointed by the President-Elect very shortly after his/her election about two years before the meeting takes place. The newly appointed Program Chair thus serves as a member of the current year's Program Committee to observe and participate in program development. The current year's Program Chair should involve the newly appointed Program Chair in all aspects of program development.
