Deliberations
Deliberations will be held in Sacramento from July 10–13, 2006. We will be sending another bulletin with travel information about a month prior to Deliberations; please do not make travel arrangements at this time. The Deliberations will be held at Capital Area East End Complex, 1500 Capitol Mall, and we have booked rooms at the Best Western Sutter House for individuals who live more than 50 miles from the site.
There will be an opportunity for each panel to ask questions of the publisher during deliberations. Please note questions on your Note-Taking Guide as you are reviewing the program. Remember also that recording accurate citations as you review will facilitate the deliberations process this summer.
