MRS Endorsement is an official recommendation to MRS members, but without active MRS involvement in the programming. Generally, MRS will consider endorsement of a meeting if the topic is of high interest to a significant subset of MRS members and does not conflict with MRS policies and events. MRS maintains no financial or operational interest in such programming and assumes no liability with regard to endorsed meetings.
