Electronic election ballots and biographies have been distributed to all current 2012 ARIA members. All current members are encouraged to vote. If any current members prefer to receive a paper ballot, please contact the ARIA Executive Office at aria@TheInstitutes.org or by calling 1-610-640-1997. Thank you to those members who have voted.
ARIA 2012 Annual Meeting sponsorship
The meeting registration fee alone cannot sustain ARIA’s annual meeting activities. Sponsorship is a vital element in the financial stability of the annual meeting. ARIA is extremely grateful to the colleges, universities, and organizations that support the annual meeting year after year. Corporate sponsorship also is necessary if we want to provide top-notch programs.
Are you aware of an insurance company, a company foundation, or other organization that could be approached to support ARIA’s 2012 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis? If so, please email Laureen Regan, ARIA’s Vice President and this year’s program chair at lregan@temple.edu
Better still, do you know and are you willing to approach a specific individual to request support for the annual meeting? Again, please communicate with Laureen to secure a sponsorship form or contact the ARIA Executive Office at aria@TheInstitutes.org or by calling 610-640-1997.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
