Dear ASEEES Members:
Below are a few highlights of the upcoming convention in Washington, DC. There are many exceptional panels and roundtables that we can't list here for lack of space. More the reason to attend the convention this year! You can still register onsite at the Convention<http://www.aseees.org/convention.html>.
And as though you are not busy enough getting ready for the 2011 convention, the call for proposals for the 2012 convention is below.
I look forward to seeing many of you soon.
