Call for MLA ’25 Moderators

The Contributed Content Working Group (CCWG) is seeking moderators for paper and lightning talk sessions during MLA ‘25: Bridging Tradition and Innovation, to be held in Pittsburgh, PA.

Moderating a session is a great way to enhance your MLA ‘25 experience. Please consider volunteering as a moderator and/or sharing this message with other MLA members. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re considering applying for this opportunity:

• This is an in-person opportunity only. Moderators should be planning to attend MLA ‘25 in person in Pittsburgh.
• MLA will select approximately twenty-five moderators to introduce presenters, follow time limits, and ensure questions from the audience are gathered and responded to by presenters.
• Moderators may claim one point applicable toward membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP).
• Moderators must register for MLA ’25. Moderators do NOT receive compensation, discount registration, or assistance with travel costs.
• Moderators will be notified by email with assigned dates and times in early April 2025.
• Detailed guidelines on moderator duties will also be provided in mid-April.

If you are interested in serving as a moderator, please complete this survey by March 28 at 5:00 p.m. central time.

Contact Debra Cavanaugh, MLA Director of Professional Development, with questions or concerns.

Thank you for your interest in serving as an MLA ’25 moderator!
