Our 2008 meeting will be held on 30 Oct - 1 Nov at the Hyatt Hotel in Greenville, South Carolina.
Each meeting room in Greenville will have a projector connected to a laptop computer --- you just need to bring your presentation on a jump drive. There are no overhead projectors for transparencies. Write if you have any questions: Lynne.Cossman@msstate.edu.
The final version of the SDA 2008 meeting program is now available. Thanks very much to SDA president-elect Lynne Cossman for her efforts in managing and organizing the many abstracts and contributions that came in. We have added a few features this year: mini-sessions Saturday morning and census recruitment tables at the lunches are just two of those additions. There's an excellent variety of presentations and organized sessions, including a session to honor Calvin Beale's contributions. We're looking forward to seeing you in Greenville.

Please do not register for membership or for the meeting with the web payment option unless you intend to use your credit card to make an immediate payment.

The hotel is located in vibrant downtown Greenville among shops and restaurants. Among other amenities, it has the 24-hour Hyatt Stay Fit gym, a seasonal outdoor pool/sundeck, YogaAway, and jogging paths around the hotel. The Hyatt Regency Greenville has agreed to provide a substantial discount for SDA members at $121 per room plus tax for a single or double. Since our free access to meeting rooms depends on the number of rooms rented by SDA members, we urge you to take advantage of the Hyatt’s reduced rates. Please make your reservations early and in any event by October 5th to obtain the reduced rate and provide credit to the SDA toward meeting the minimum number of room-nights we need to have the meeting rooms available without charge.
