Introduction
The New Orleans Conference of the
Allied
Academies turned out
to be a great conference despite the weaker than usual turn out.
We only had 160 registrants which is one of the smallest conferences
we've had in a while (about 50 fewer people than we had at the
New Orleans Conference in 2004) . The service was
wonderful and the city really needed our presence. The French
Quarter and business district near the hotel seemed to be in good
shape, but the residential areas are still completely destroyed in a
lot of places six months after Katrina. Gutted apartment
buildings, tarped roofs, abandoned cars and deserted neighborhoods
were common sights if you did any exploring. The city needs
tourism dollars flowing into it to help in the recovery, so I think
most of the attendees felt like they were helping just by being there
and had a good time doing it.
On another note, we have phase one
of a multi phase web site project almost complete. For this
project, we have hired a professional web designer to build a
customized system to reduce our tremendous record keeping work
load. This will likely involve running two different systems on
our site until we are able to tackle subsequent phases of the
project. Once phase one is complete, the online journals will be
brought up to date and accessible to members only. There will
likely be some bumps along the way due to the scale of this project, so
please bear with us. We think you will like the end result much
better.
UPCOMING CONFERENCES
Summer
International Internet Conference
Our Summer
2006 International Internet Conference (July 17-31) is
rapidly approaching and the online forms
to submit and register are now available. It has been growing in
popularity among our members
and gives participants the ability to submit papers just as they would
for a normal conference without having to go anywhere. As many of
you know, submitting a paper for award consideration at one of our
conferences is a very effective way to get your paper considered for
Journal publication quickly.
Fall
International Conference - Reno
The
Fall 2006 International Conference will
be held October 19-21, at the Atlantis
Casino Resort & Spa in Reno, Nevada. Just to give you a little more
information about the Atlantis it offers luxury hotel accommodations,
the relaxed atmosphere of a European style spa & salon and Reno's
only hotel with indoor and outdoor pools, fine dining from around the
world with eight award winning restaurants, and non-stop gaming action
in Reno's best casino. It is centrally located only a few minutes
from the airport (with a free shuttle), at the base of the Sierra
Nevada Mountain range and is only a half hour from Lake Tahoe.
Its location is also convenient to the newest shopping and dining
district. Whether you're into golf, skiing, or just a relaxing
day at the spa, they offer a vacation package to suit your needs.
The weekday sleeping room rates are only $69 and the weekend rates are
$139. Be sure to tell them you are with Allied Academies when you
book. For reservations call 800-723-6500.
Spring 2007 International
Conference in Jacksonville
The Crowne Plaza Jacksonville
Riverfront was our back up choice if New Orleans
did not recover,
so we have chosen them to be our location for the Spring
2007 International Conference. It is currently slated for
April 11-14,
2007. The hotel has been recently remodeled and converted into a
Crowne Plaza. It now offers a fitness center, gift shop, business
center, outdoor riverside pool,
two bars and two restaurants, including Ruth's Chris Steak House.
They have also offered us a guest room rate of $105
per night. We hope to see you all there as well. Be sure to tell them you are with Allied
Academies when you book. For reservations call
877-227-6963.
Journal
News
As you may or may not be aware, we
hired a system designer to design a new online system for managing our
growing number of members. Phase one was supposed to be completed
a couple of months back, but some unforeseeable problems emerged in the
interactivity of the different software being used. It is now
very close to being complete. Once it is introduced, we will send
an email to all of you who are on in our User Profile database so make
sure your email addresses are up to date there (check the Submission
Status Profile to make sure). This system will allow
us to post the rest of the online Journals to the web site for member
and subscriber access only. If you are interested in being kept
up to date on this or anything else, just make sure you have submitted User
Registration Form. The new system should tie in with our
plans to get our Journals listed with the major databases and
subscribing organizations that AACSB is beginning to require for
publication consideration. More phases of the system will follow.
