From this place, it appears that a great conference is coming in Chicago. Predictably, Suzanne Rice and her committee have put together a high quality, nicely constructed program. Our featured speakers are tuning up their words. I'm looking forward to spirited encounters between Iris Young, Emily Robertson and Natasha Levinson, between Larry Hickman and Jim Garrison, and between Nick Burbules, Wendy Kohli and Harvey Siegel. Now all we need is you.
Some recent events promise new things in the future.
I have also been keeping close watch on our financial situation. Still, I do have some questions about our dues structure, based as it is on rank and not on income, and I hope to generate some discussion about these issues at the Chicago meeting. As always, the best way to enhance PES' fiscal condition is to pay your dues now and invite a new member along for the ride . . . If you need to share a ride or a room to get to Chicago, get on the web site bulletin board and make those arrangements today.
