Round Tables are assemblies of members of the Association that convene at the Association's annual meeting to exchange ideas on topics not specifically addressed by the committees of the Association. Round Tables are led by a Coordinator appointed by the President in consultation with the Board and other parties as appropriate. Other groups, such as the system user groups, may be formed on an ad hoc basis and have volunteer coordinators. Normally there are no other officers and no specified membership.
