A 1.5 hour presentation for new department chairs begins at 5:00 pm. This presentation is given by a seasoned department chair, Professor David Irwin of Auburn University, and is a must for those who are new (and old!) to this role.
The Opening Reception on Friday evening at 6:30 pm provides an opportunity for you and your guest to renew old acquaintances as well as meet some new faces.
As usual, ECEDHA's Board of Directors has worked hard to design a program that will provide attendees ample time for both educational and networking opportunities. You may view the preliminary program.
