Guidelines for Presenters

• One does not have to be a member of RMMLA to propose a paper, but one must become a member by April 1 to appear in the program.
• Paper proposals based on a 300-word abstract are due to the session chair no later than March 1. You will be notified of the chair's decision by March 15.
• Members may submit papers to different session chairs, however, no one may read more than one paper at the convention.
• If you have a paper accepted in more than one session, please decide which one you will give, and notify the chairs, as well as the RMMLA Secretariat of your choice. If we discover a duplication and are not able to reach you, we will have to choose for you or eliminate both papers from the program.
• Please limit your remarks to the time alloted, in order to leave time for questions. In session with three presenters, this means 20 minutes; in session with four presenters, this means 15 minutes.
• If you need audio-visual equipment, please notify your chair AND the RMMLA Secretariat (by email at rmmla@wsu.edu by May 1.
• Members who propose papers are expected to attend the convention to read at the scheduled time. The Program Committee does all possible to vary the day/time a session meets from year to year, and to accommodate scheduling requests received by May 1, but not all requests can be granted. If you have a paper accepted for the convention, please plan to attend and share your research/work.
• Please notify the chair and the RMMLA Secretariat immediately if you find you are unable to present, so that a replacement can be found.
• Papers may NOT be read in absentia, except under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the Executive Director.
