The Conferences Committee identifies innovative or emerging topics that should be considered for new conference offerings and advises on guidelines related to GSA Conferences, such as Code of Conduct policy, public outreach to increase attendance, and speaker diversity. The committee will have a yearly call, or more, as needed. The president appoints a member to serve as Chair. New members are appointed by the Chair of the committee to serve a three-year term. The Committee is made up of GSA members that reflect current GSA conferences communities.
