Guidelines & Conflict of Interest Policy
Please take some time to review the Member Showcase Guidelines as well as the Conflict of Interest Policy.
The conflict of interest policy is designed to assure the highest levels of integrity for CALS. Openly and proactively disclosing conflicts of interest helps members of the audience form their own judgments about presentations and their merits.
