Website for 1998 PAA Meetings


The 1998 PAA Program Committee has set up a website for the 1998 annual meetings. The URL is http://www.rand.org/centers/population/PAA.98meeting. The website contains information and important dates for submission of abstracts, papers, and posters. Also included is the Annual Meeting Suggestion Form (in html) which you can print out and submit by mail, in case you have lost the copy which was mailed to you several weeks ago. Members are urged to send in comments and suggestions before June 1. The required form for PAA member-initiated meetings (see accompanying article) is also available on the website. Other forms soon to be available on the website include the membership application form, the meeting registration form, and the hotel registration form.

In August, the Call for Papers and Posters and the submission form will be up on the website. The submission form will also be mailed with the Call for Papers. Please note that this year, ALL submissions to session organizers must be accompanied by the submission form, or they will not be considered for inclusion in the program. The submission forms provide an essential means of tracking all submissions during the organizing process. We are working on a mechanism to allow the submission form to be sent to the organizers directly off the website for those who prefer to do so. If you are interested in this alternative, check the website in August.
