Dear ASEEES Members:

*MEMBERSHIP*

www.aseees.org/membership/individual*. *Please

our vision to serve as the premier organization dedicated to the
advancement of knowledge about Central Asia, the Caucasus, Russia, and
East-Central Europe.

We offer *two-year membership *options so that you can renew for 2016 and
2017 at the 2016 dues rate.
Consider becoming a *lifetime member *as a way to support the association
for the long term and make a financial contribution to its endowment.

*NOTE:* Before you renew, check on your membership status to make sure you
haven’t already paid for 2016. You can find this information on My

*2016 CONVENTION CALL FOR PROPOSALS*

We are delighted to announce the *48th ASEEES Annual Convention
<http://www.aseees.org/convention> in Washington, DC, at the Washington
Marriott Wardman Park, Nov. 17-20, 2016*.

The 2016 *Convention Theme* is “Global Conversations”
<http://www.aseees.org/convention/2016-theme>



The *Call for Proposals* is now open: www.aseees.org/convention/cfp

*Proposal Deadline: **February 15, 2016* for *ALL Submissions **- panel,
roundtable, individual paper, and meeting* submissions*.*



*Revised Session Categories* *for Scheduling: *The 2016 Session Categories
have been extensively revised.  Please review the list before you submit
your proposal: www.aseees.org/convention/categories   Please note that the
categories are strictly used for scheduling purposes only.



*Rules for Participation:  *Please carefully review the rules for
participation: www.aseees.org/convention/rules  Note the new rule for 2016:
If you submitted an individual paper proposal for the 2015 Convention and
it was accepted, you cannot submit another individual paper proposal for
the 2016 Convention. Please consider organizing a panel.



We are anticipating an exceptionally large number of proposals for the 2016
Convention. Individual paper submissions will have a MUCH LOWER chance of
being accepted than panel/roundtable proposals. We STRONGLY encourage all
interested participants to form, or become part of, a panel proposal. To
assist in the process of forming panels, we have created the *Panel/Paper
Wanted Board*: www.aseees.org/convention/paperspanels-wanted-board  If you
are looking for a panel to join or a paper presenter for your panel,
please review
the proposals
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ApSs2h2I7nkMdDc5N1FLQk0xZGhEcXBHWGw2aUhlUUE&rm=full#gid=0>
on the online board. You can also indicate your willingness to volunteer as
chair or discussant. You can also use the 2016 Convention Facebook group
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/769001783227799/>.



*Membership Requirement*: ALL individual paper submitters and session
organizers in the *US and abroad* *MUST be ASEEES members *in order to
submit a proposal. Please review the membership rules
<http://www.aseees.org/convention/rules#membership> for participation.



With any inquiries about the convention, please contact the convention
manager at [email protected]  If you are experiencing technical
difficulties, please contact [email protected]
