Volunteer Moderator Form

Moderator Role

Moderators are primarily responsible for introductions, keeping the time, and alerting presenters of remaining minutes, as well as managing the open discussion period. They are expected to maintain an atmosphere conducive to open and collegial discussion of ideas. Moderators are not discussants. Each moderator is responsible for making a brief introduction (1 minute) of each paper. Each paper presenter is responsible for sending the moderator an electronic copy of their paper by the deadline.
