The deadline for submitting a paper proposal is August 15, 2003.
Panel participants must also pre-register for the conference by
the August deadline in order for their names to appear in the
program. Please send proposals and offers to be a discussant directly
to the section chair of the panel on the Call
For Papers that best fits your interest. Panelists may bring
extra copies of conference papers. A table will be set up for
display.
We urge you to stay at The
Coast Plaza Hotel & Suites where we have a contractual
arrangement for a set number of rooms. Reservations can be made

for all day Friday and Saturday until approximately Noon. A general
business meeting for the association members will be held on Saturday
morning with a continental breakfast. At this meeting, there will
be an election of officers. Two members of the Executive Council
will be elected for two-year terms. A President Elect will also
be chosen. Nominations for these positions will be solicited from
the entire membership. You may e-mail nominations to nilsdoug@isu.edu.
The Executive Council will then forward names in nomination with
its own recommendations for a vote at the Saturday general membership
meeting. As usual, nominations will be accepted from the floor.
We look forward to seeing you at our 2003 conference of Northwest
political scientists.
Sincerely,
Doug Nilson
