Introductory Statements for Speakers and Presenters

Speakers and presenters are asked to provide an introductory statement about themselves ASAP, but no later than September 1. All speakers and presenters have been sent an email requesting this information. Due to time constraints, there will be no other presenters or speakers this year other than the ones contacted and on the agenda. The introductory statement will be used by the Summit chairman or co-chairman to introduce each speaker. Please email it to laura.s.cerecerez@nasa.gov. Also, please don’t forget to provide the number of minutes (15 or 30) you would like to speak.

The introductory statement should include the following information:

• The name (e.g., nickname) the speaker/presenter prefers for introduction
• Position, affiliation, and affiliation location
• The year current job responsibilities began
• Contact info (optional, if not on your presentation)
• Any other relevant experience or details

Here is an example introductory statement:
