The WRSA traditional October 15 paper submission deadline has come and gone. In its place is the traditional WRSA paper submission deadline extension. Although we very much prefer to receive papers early, we will continue to accept submissions until Friday, November 21. Submit your papers here.
Additional meeting information can be found using the page links on the left.
Questions? Feel free to contact WRSA executive director, Rachel Franklin.

Welcome to the new and improved WRSA website! Starting this year, all conference paper submission and registration will happen via the new site — and both are now being accepted! To get started you will need to create a new account in the system. You should only need to do this one time. Once you’ve created your new account, use the appropriate page links to register for the meeting, renew a membership, or submit your conference paper.
WRSA’s 54th annual meeting will be held February 15–18, 2015 at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, up in the foothills of the Catalina mountains. For next year’s meeting we’ve negotiated a room rate of $189/night (plus taxes), which includes complimentary parking, spa access, and room internet. As always, keep in mind the October 15 deadline for paper submissions. It’s never too early to start planning for next year’s meeting! Further details will be forthcoming in the Spring/Summer 2014 WRSA Newsletter.
The final program has been posted for the upcoming 53rd annual WRSA meeting, to be held this coming week in San Diego, California. A pdf version of the program can be found under the Annual Meeting tab. Be sure to check on site for the inevitable late paper cancellations.

Program Participants: Please check your session assignments and let me know if you spot any errors. Due to the fullness of the Program we consider the Program final with respect to the scheduling of assignments. The Program Committee attempted to honor all scheduling requests received.
For those still undecided about attending the conference: There’s still time to make your plans (and even find a place on the program as a chair or discussant)!
If you’ve not already done so, now is the time to preregister for the meeting – rates go up after January 15! And don’t forget to book your hotel room: after January 15, the hotel is no longer obligated to honor our specially-negotiated conference rate!
