We are in the process of forming committees to take on various planning roles for the Symposium. The committees are: * Food and Banquet Committee * Social Events & Accommodations Committee * Bags, SWAG, and Gifts Committee * Symposium & Communication Committee * Fundraising & Budget Committee If you are interested in helping, please talk to me or send an email (ReimerL6(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:ReimerL6@myumanitoba.ca>) with what committee(s) you are interested in being a part.
