Locator File, Information Desks, and Bulletin Boards

The locator file and bulletin boards will be located in the Grand Ballroom, Pre-registrants and individuals registering at the meeting can return completed locator list cards at the receiving desk of the locator file. Throughout the course of the meeting, individuals can consult Locator Desk workers for information about colleagues. Desks will be divided alphabetically into four workstations. Members are advised that very few cards will be received on Thursday, January 4. By far the busiest time period, both for depositing cards at the receiving desk and requesting information at Locator Desks, will be Friday morning, January 5. Ten student workers and a Local Arrangements Committee supervisor will be on hand to accept cards and to file them as quickly as possible. Participants' patience and understanding while workers integrate cards into the card files will be appreciated.

The bulletin boards will serve both as informal message centers and as a place to announce special meetings, changes, and the like. Items posted on the bulletin boards will be divided alphabetically. Attendees posting signs or looking for information should observe this system.

Information about the annual meeting, the city of Atlanta, and the AHA will be available at the Information Desks located in the prefunction area outside the Grand Ballroom.
