    Hello everybody!  (Apologies for cross-posting).

    It's time for your "Hail Mary" responses to our Seattle Call for Participants.  Your friendly local Cluster on Practice has a few openings on panels - can you help?  We are looking for responses in the next 24 hours or so - the computer thinks it wants everything settled by May 1 (ish).


    1. Student Successes - Practical Magic from our EMBA/MBA/DMBA/MSDA programs.  Are you a Master's Program with students going to the conference? Got some term projects you can tell us about?  We have a few openings for 3-4 schools. Don't be shy.
    2. Skills We Are Hiring Now.  We have panelists from GE and the DoD.  Anybody else want to tell us what you are hiring?  Can have 2-4 more.
    3. Talking to the Top.  How to communicate complex OR results to decision makers and stakeholders.  Do you consume executive summaries for breakfast? We want you - looking for 2-3 more.
    4. A Day in the Life.  We have volunteers from GE, Boeing, and the DoD.  Anybody else willing to walk us through your day?
    5. AI at IBM.  Do you have an artificial intelligence or machine learning application?  Join our friends at IBM and tell us about yours. 20 minutes to talk, and the fame and glory last a lifetime.

    Can you help with any of these?  Email me (cmbeam@uark.edu) and let me know which session(s) you might be interested in.  Looking forward to seeing you all in Seattle.
