The Mission for Montana

The fall 2004 AUBER conference was without a doubt successful on all levels. Each event, speaker, and session was informative and useful.
A special thanks to all those who planned, presented, and had any
hand in the Tucson conference.

Now, the question is this: how do you top a conference like the one in Tucson? The answer is to start planning now to make the fall 2005 AUBER conference in Missoula, Montana, even better.

In order to accomplish this great (but not impossible) task, the planning committee needs input from every AUBER member. What topics would be helpful to you as a professional and to your center in general? Should there be more software demonstrations? Any specific research topics? A particular guest speaker or presenter? The planning committee has indeed started the preparation process by discussing the needs of the membership and trying to build on the momentum of the Tucson conference.

If you have any suggestions or would like to present at the 2005 fall conference, please contact the planning committee chairs, Jerry Conover (conover@indiana.edu) or me (scsmith@memphis .edu). Your assistance is very much wanted and needed.
