2027 Conference Committee

The Conference Committee serves as the heart of our member-led planning, ensuring the Annual Conference remains a space shaped by and for our community. This committee acts as the essential link between our Program Committee’s scholarly vision, our Local and Community Engagement Committee’s place-based relationships, and the Attendee Engagement’s wellness and networking initiatives. By unifying these member-driven efforts, the committee ensures your experience—from the research you share to the community connections you build—is purposeful and cohesive. Their work bridges the diverse aspects of our gathering to create an inclusive environment where every member can thrive.

The Conference Committee consists of a Chair and Co-Chairs of the following in-group committees: Attendee Engagement, Local and Community Engagement, and Program Committee. Current members of these roles are listed after the following committee information.
