CSCMP would like to extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers who contributed to the success of EDGE 2019. Although these groups are behind the scenes, our conference wouldn’t continue to be a valuable and memorable experience without their dedication. We could not have done it without them, and we want to shine the spotlight on their collective efforts.
2019 Track Chairs
Track Chairs essentially run their own track, which typically includes six sessions. They are the liaison between CSCMP staff and presenters. Their responsibilities include shaping the direction and theme of their tracks, sourcing presenters and coordinating all efforts to bring each session to life. Not an easy undertaking!
