What are the most important areas I should consider when organizing my session proposal?

Session organizers are advised to diversify their session proposal.  Multi-disciplinary and/or multi-institutional representation as well as gender balance and a combination of junior and senior scholars is strongly encouraged for all proposals. Who makes the decision to accept proposals? The Program Committee reviews all proposals and selects the sessions to be held at the upcoming annual meeting. The program committee is divided into subcommittees for each proposal submission geographic area (China and Inner Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia & Southeast Asia, and Inter-area/Border Crossing. These subcommittees will review all proposals submitted within each area.
