Happy Summer to Region IX and X members!! Just some quick updates on our plans for this academic year. Our Joint Region IX and X Meeting, the Pediatric CARE (Community, Advocacy, Research and Education) Conference, will be held on January 29-30, 2011 in Monterey, California at the Naval Post Graduate School. We are extremely pleased to announce that Paul Wise has agreed to be our keynote speaker! Dr. Wise is the Richard E. Behrman Professor of Child Health and Society and Senior Fellow in the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. He is also the Director of the Center for Policy, Outcomes and Prevention at Stanford University.
The call for abstracts will be going out in September. The due date for abstracts (oral presentations and works in progress) will be due at the same time as the abstract deadline for the Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting (November 17th). Please stay tuned to next month's newsletter for updates on the meeting and abstract submissions. We really look forward to seeing many of you in Monterey!
If you are not already on our regional listserv, please join. We hope to use the listserv more this year to provide updates on regional happenings. Please go to "Administer Listserv Preferences" on the APA website and check to be included in the Region IX/X listserv.
We will also have our annual Region Breakfast at the PAS meeting in Denver in May 2nd, 2011 (just in case you want to calendar that now!).
