RECIPROCAL ENDORSEMENT OF SPECIALTY SESSIONS SVIN will also actively pursue opportunities to jointly endorse SPECIFIC meeting sessions with other organizations. Typically this would entail a session of mutual interest in the SVIN annual meeting that is clearly labeled as “endorsed” by another society or organization, in exchange for a session devoted to any aspect of neurocritical care in the partner organization’s meeting that is clearly labeled as “endorsed” by SVIN. These collaborations will be coordinated by the chair of the SVIN Annual Meeting Committee and a SVIN member who acts as a liaison to the partner organization. Such collaborations are subject to approval by the Executive Committee. Reciprocal endorsement of specialty sessions includes:

  • Announcement of partner meeting on the SVIN meeting page
  • E-mail blast announcing the partner meeting to the SVIN membership.
  • Exchange of logos for use in flyers and promotional material.
It is anticipated and hoped, but not required, that partnering organizations reciprocate in kind.

Question Title

* 23. Are you interested in a reciprocal endorsement?
