 t
the close of the 2006 meeting, the Committee on
Panels and Workshops will cease to exist. Henceforth,
panels and workshops will be the responsibility
of the scientific subcommittees that organize the
various learning tracks. I would like to express
my gratitude to the members of the committee who
have worked diligently through the years to make
this part of the Annual Meeting program a continuing
success. This year, as a final challenge, we have
provided a “Name Search” puzzle. The
moderator of each panel and workshop can be found
in the grid below. How many of the 35 can you find?
Good luck.
