Traditionally the FRI call for papers opens in the fall, closes before Thanksgiving and the agenda is set—not this year! While we still completed that part of the process, it was only the foundation for the FRI program for 2010.

A second call for papers was announced in early January and the submission period just recently wrapped up. This opportunity for submissions allowed the program planning council to capture emerging topics and the latest in leadership education. New presentations have been added to the agenda, including sessions you won’t see anywhere else. Hear about topics such as:

• Medical Operations in Haiti
• The “Snowpocalypse” of 2010
• The Fort Hood Incident and Response

Look for more to come on other emerging topics being covered at FRI 2010.
