IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER: Program Materials/Biographies/Speaker Information Forms Deadline - Monday, September 18th Early Bird Registration Cut-Off-Friday, October 6th Pre-Registration Cut-Off (All registrations received after this date will be processed on-site)-Friday, October 20th Hotel Block Cut-Off-Friday, October 20th

Section Program Materials:
The CLE materials of the Speakers, Moderators and Program Chairs must be compiled specifically for the program or be related directly to the topic of the speaker's remarks and should consist of original materials together with relevant background resources (particularly resources that may not be readily available or easily found by attendees including English translations of materials in another language).

It is a good idea to include the web sites of good sources of materials on the topic but please do not include materials that can easily be copied from the web in the program book. Any speaker who wants to include previously published materials in the program book may do so as long as they are not out of date but it is required that authorization is obtained for re-publication from the original purchaser so we are not guilty of copyright infringement.

It is the responsibility of the program chair or moderator to ensure that program materials are received and forwarded no later than Monday, September 18, 2006. A failure to provide adequate materials may endanger the accreditation of the program for CLE. Materials received after this date are not guaranteed to be produced for on-site participants.

Please send all materials to Lauren Newman at ebnerk@staff.abanet.org by this deadline.
