WPA 2010: Conversations Toward Action: Very preliminary information (full site coming 2/2010)

WPA 2010 will take place in Philadelphia, PA. The conference web site, which will include:

• the call for proposals
• conference registration costs
• additional information

will be ready by February, 2010.

Thanks to some amazing work by Doug Hesse and Dave Blakesley, *most* issues of WPA Journal, as well asmany WPA Newsletters, are now available in the WPA Journal archives.

Some of these issues (most recent ones) are available only to WPA members; however the vast majority of them are available to all.

We’ve just finished with the Town Hall meeting, where about 80 conference attendees participated in a fantastic, energizing discussion about WPA’s future directions and projects. I’ll write more about that in a post tomorrow. First, though I want to share some remarks I made before the meeting.

If you haven't yet registered for WPA 2009, complete this form and send it to Tim Gustafson (address below) or bring with you to the conference. Registration fees must now be paid by check. Thanks!
