Ongoing Action Items (1)
Annual Summer Steering Committee Meeting.
G. Liebermann to host the next meeting at
Xerox ,Toronto on July 23, 1999 Potential
session chairs / co-chairs and session titles to
be identified before the committee meeting by the
Area Chairs/ Vice-Chairs to streamline to
selection process, final decission at the
Area/Subcommittee meetings Explore joint
sessions with a principally academic group, e.g.,
Reaction Engineering Post information
about Group 12 on the AIChE website (GL/JC)
Consider programming a joint session with other
AIChE groups to gain wider exposure - run a
question and answer session, or ask the Expert.
Consider a panel discussion or a tutorial.
