Introduction:
Years ago, Fred MacDonald, President of PCA at the time, created the Area
Chair plan for our meetings and that concept has carried forward into the
present. The Area Chairs consider paper proposals and then form panels which
are then
submitted to Bowling Green for arrangement on the national program.
If you are interested in presenting a panel or paper at the Philadelphia
meeting of PCA/ACA next year, you should contact the relevant Area Chair.
The list
below is for the AMERICAN CULTURE ASSOCIATION (ACA). We will publish the
PCA list soon.
If you do not hear back from your Area Chair in good time, make a
telephone call. Also, remember that there is plenty of time and that a postal
letter is
sometimes faster than an e-mail message or a phone call--as paradoxical as
that might sound.
All participants in our meetings must be members of one of the
organizations and membership information is on the national web site. It is
to your
advantage to JOIN NOW so that you get newsletters, catalogs, posters, and the
like from
the organization as we approach the meeting.
Finally, the national web site has lots of background information for you,
so check it out as you plan and ponder...
Deadline of proposals to Area Chairs: 15 September, 2000

invited to submit an abstract to an area chair and participate in the
association's thirty-first annual conference. For planning purposes, please

It all happened here: the first Continental Congress, the drafting and
signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the
United States, and the tolling of the massive Liberty Bell (which did not

Marshall, the first Justice of the Supreme Court). Philadelphia is a
delightful city filled with history. Participants may want to bring their
families.
