After the first session, participants may send a scan of a potential exhibit item for her review and comment. Participants also have the option to outline a point they want to make in their non-philatelic story to garner Wang\u2019s advice on exhibit items to seek.<\/p>\n<p>Session number two provides discussion, sharing and brainstorming opportunities for participants based on details from the first session. This high-engagement workshop will maximize participants\u2019 planning options by capitalizing on live interaction with Wang.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jean Wang is a hematologist and leukemia researcher in Toronto, Canada. She has received 19 awards and myriad accolades for her thematic exhibiting, including Grand Awards for her Blood exhibit in CANPEX 2019 and ORAPEX 2022. Wang\u2019s philatelic expertise includes receiving Royal Philatelic Society of Canada\u2019s Long-time Contribution Award. She is a member of the Canada Post Stamp Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop series costs $25 for ATA members and $45 for non-members.
