Honoring Janine Lee

 

The 55th Annual Meeting is dedicated to the memory of Janine Lee – our leader, mentor and friend. Janine's life, work and legacy will be woven throughout our agenda, including a special Opening Keynote where a few of the many people who benefited from her guidance will share their favorite memories of Janine and reflect on how each of us can carry her work forward – scroll down for more details!

We are planning other tributes to Janine throughout the Annual Meeting – more information about these will be announced soon.
