DECEMBER 2004
MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT OF SWCAS
The 2004 meeting of SWCAS at
This year’s conference sponsored eleven panels with
twenty-five paper presentations. We
welcomed back many of the “usual suspects”, but also once again enjoyed a
higher number of participants from outside the region. Absenteeism was limited to one presenter this
year, always an encouraging sign.
2005 MEETING
The 2005 meeting will be held at the
I’m looking forward to the coming
year and humbly solicit your ideas about how we can continue to build on SWCAS’
success. Given that word of mouth is the best (and cheapest) marketing
strategy, I strongly encourage each of you to discuss SWCAS participation with
your colleagues and students.
