Theme-based Special Sessions
Theme-based Special Sessions
NASCO’s Theme-based Special Sessions (TBSS) are intended to allow for the exchange of information and sharing of best practice on a topic related to NASCO’s agreements and guidelines. These sessions usually take the form of a whole or half day of presentations and discussion on a particular topic, usually at the time of the NASCO Annual Meeting. The intention is for these sessions of presentations and discussion on a particular topic to be held over a whole day. However, half day sessions may be required if there is a very full Council agenda in a given year.
A report of each TBSS is produced for dissemination.
The Report of the 2024 Theme-based Special Session is available:
