About the Programme Committee

The NACAA Programme Committee (the PC) is responsible for organising the content and programme for each NACAA. Members of the PC perform various functions:

• encourage people to make submissions to present a paper, workshop or poster
• ensure that the programme is interesting and diverse
• review submissions for quality
• work with contributors to improve their presentations as needed
• help judge the Astral Award for best presentation

The Committee is lead by the PC Chair, who is also a defacto member of the Secretariat. The committee is drawn from experienced members of the NACAA community covering a wide variety of astronomical interests, and support the review of submissions and the smooth operation of the event.

This work is not onerous. Meetings are held as needed, usually in the last six months or so of the Convesntion cycle, and most communication is done via e-mail.

The Committee has prepared information for those who are interested in:

• Speaking
• Acting as a Session Chair
