Sept 2017 Meeting-Agenda Updates

Develop hard deadlines for the proceedings. if not on time then the pertness can’t present. Need to have due date in the summer so that the proceedings are published by the time of the conference.

Develop a policy for the open source publications
1. International Journal of Interpreter Education (IJIE) will provide prorated refunds upon request for articles that were purchased prior to the journal becoming Open Access on February 1, 2017. Refunds will only be honored for a year from the date that the IJIE made the decision to go open access, and will not be granted after February 1, 2018.
