These volunteers ask about members' interest areas and then seek out speakers and design program topics. Often, programs result from volunteers attending regional or national APT conferences, then inviting those presenters to Cincinnati. Approximately five or six programs are offered each year. Program dates are often determined by the availability of presenters and the time-frame for coordinating larger programs. For example, when a nationally known speaker is invited in the fall for a two-day workshop, the next month a local program, called Type Talks, is offered.
Participants are welcome to make program suggestions at any time throughout the year.
