Call for Volunteers

Would you like to get involved in the inner workings of your professional association? Did you know that networking is the number one benefit cited by most members of AAPB? What better way to “kill two birds with one stone” than to volunteer to participate on an AAPB committee or other activity? By volunteering, you will have the opportunity to be involved in a way that provides meaningful support to your professional society and to network with peers.

Presentations are to be selected on the basis of scientific merit by means of blind review. Abstract Reviewers are required to review a small number of abstracts (usually less than seven) and must agree to complete their reviews no later thanSeptember 10, 2010.
