Call for Proposals

If you have an idea for an event, we welcome proposals from regional members. Our goal is to sponsor events in different parts of the region, to benefit the greatest possible number of members. Such events will be organized by members and supported with regional financial and promotional assistance, provided that the event is open to any regional member. Graduate students with a faculty mentor are eligible to apply. We have set a rolling deadline to make it possible to submit an application at any time.
