Last call! Navigators are badly needed! There has been very strong interest from first time attendees this year for the SAA Navigator Program, and Navigators are in high demand. If you like meeting new colleagues and have attended the Annual Meeting even three or four times, your knowledge could help a new attendee. At this point we still need around 15 in-person navigators. Please consider volunteering by completing the form here:

The Navigator Program is a short-term networking opportunity that matches experienced Annual Meeting attendees with newer meeting attendees, or anyone who is interested in receiving guidance on the Annual Meeting or networking. Navigators share their experience, advise Navigatees on sessions and special events that are likely to suit their interests, and facilitate networking with other attendees. Program participants are welcome to chat over a virtual coffee, tea, or lunch, and talk about SAA, careers, goals, challenges, life experiences; whatever you like that would be helpful to the newer attendee. This year, the Navigator Program and SAA Mentoring Program are partnering to bring you a virtual or in-person Navigator Program.
The deadline to volunteer as a navigator is Monday, July 28. You'll be contacted about a match in the second week of August.
Thank you,
