The Education Committee presents for board approval concepts for educational programs and products (including symposia, short courses, workshops, and retreats) given outside the program at the annual meeting. They develop a schedule for approved programs and products, present a budget and marketing plan for each approved program or product to the Finance Committee for approval, assign committee members and others to develop and present these programs or products, invite participants, and develop and print material to be used in individual courses. The committee may work with the Publications Committee to refine such material and other educational materials into publishable form to be used in subsequent courses and marketed as CSE publications. The committee develops materials to evaluate each program for use in developing future programs.
