Conference FAQ

How can I become a Conference Chair?

NESUG Conference Chairs are selected based on their extensive contributions of time, effort, and ideas to make past NESUG conferences and non-conference activities a success. They have also assumed increasing levels of responsibility within the organization and have accomplished those assignments well.

There isn't any one path, but the Executive Committee considers the following things when selecting future Conference Chairs:

Has the candidate done a paper for NESUG? Was it well prepared and well received?
Has he/she volunteered to help with conference and/or non-conference activities?
Has the candidate been a Session Coordinator? Did he/she do a good job?
Has he/she been a Section Chair? Did he/she do a good job?
Is he/she reliable?
Is he/she a leader?
Can he/she make the commitment?
