American Evaluation Association Call for Proposals 2010

The American Evaluation Association invites evaluators from around the world
to attend its annual conference to be held Wednesday, November 10, through
Saturday, November 13, 2010 in San Antonio, Texas. We'll be convening at the
lovely Grand Hyatt San Antonio, right in the heart of the vibrant city and adjacent
to the Riverwalk's nightlife, restaurants, and strolling grounds. Discounted hotel
reservations will be available in March.

AEA's annual meeting is expected to bring together approximately 2500
evaluation practitioners, academics, and students, and represents a unique
opportunity to gather with professional colleagues in a collaborative, thought-
provoking, and fun atmosphere.

The conference is broken down into 44 Topical Strands that examine the field
from the vantage point of a particular methodology, context, or issue of interest to
the field as well as the Presidential Strand highlighting this year's Presidential
Theme of Evaluation Quality. Presentations may explore the conference theme
or any aspect of the full breadth and depth of evaluation theory and practice.

Proposals are due by midnight in the Eastern time zone, on Friday, March
19, 2010.
