Apparently there has been some delay in getting out our Call to
Conference brochures. They went out of the office weeks ago, but
don't seem to be circulating as fast as we would have liked (if you did
get one, please e-mail me so I know where they ARE getting through!).
In the interim, please pass on the information about our conference to
interested colleagues, and contact the folks listed in this message for
application materials, but please don't forget about us, we promise a
great conference!
Please note that HOTEL RESERVATIONS NEED TO BE IN PLACE BY
SEPTEMBER 9th (hotel phone is below), so if you are planning to attend,
make those reservations now! Sorry for the inconvenience.
