Call for Networking Breakout Topics
The AMS is looking for input from the community on Networking Breakout Topics they wish to see at the 101st Virtual Annual Meeting taking place 11-15 January 2021. The Overall Planning Community has come up with general themes for each day. We are looking for topics that fit each of these themes. We're open to ideas for themes to draw attendees in, but in the end the sessions will organically grow based on who joins, and the topics of interest of the group.  We'll be recruiting volunteers to help facilitate the sessions and make sure everyone gets a change to visit and share or as questions.

Monday (4:30-5:00pm Eastern)- Ice Breakers
Tuesday (10:00-10:30am Eastern)- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Wednesday (4:30-5:00 Eastern)- T.E.A.M., Teach, Empower, Affirm, Mentor
Thursday (10:00-10:30am Eastern)- Strengthening Engagement with Communities through Our Science and Services
