The GSA is hosting their annual symposium on March 29th and they are looking for volunteers to help out with the event. This year IDR is a co-sponsor, so it would be great if we could get a good showing of IDR member volunteers! If you are willing to help with the symposium, just let me know of your availability between 9 am and 8 pm on the 29th. Also, all volunteers will be treated to a happy hour event that evening courtesy of GSA! Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!
