For example, assessors working inassessment research might consider whether a greater array of assessment research topics should befeatured during the annual meeting and whether the interest group might make a contribution to this need bysubmitting proposals in this area. From this lunch session, the SPA Board hopes to obtain information andrecommendations that will inform planning for future SPA activities. The participants will have the opportunity toexchange e-mail addresses from which listserves may be created and enable conversation throughout theyear.EMPLOYMENT FAIRSPA is promoting an employment fair again in 2010.
