Session Preparation Process

NASFAA Staff & Committees	Submitter/Presenter/Moderator
Step 1: Assigned committee member notifies session submitter of acceptance.	1a. Submitter confirms that all presenters and the moderator are aware that there names had been submitted. 1b. Submitter makes any modifications as requested by the committee and informs the committee contact once those changes have been set in place.
Step 2: The committee member notifies NASFAA staff.
