Invitation to Host the North
American Productivity Workshop is 2006
Toronto was a great success with 170 attendees from 32 Countries. One very prominent researcher said:
"I have no word to express my thanks to you both and to your team. The Workshop was the best one I have ever attended. Certainly, DEA has grown up to a method of choice for knowledgeable community. Your contributions are great."
While the above is flattering to us, the main point is that NAPW and EWEPAs have grown to be among the best small conferences anywhere.
But now that NAPW2004 is behind us, we need to select a site for the 2006 North American Productivity Workshop. Traditionally, the Advisory Committee for the previous Workshop selects the hosts for the next event. At a meeting of the Board, the following criteria were approved against which applicants will be evaluated. So please take the time to prepare an application to host the next one providing a brief writeup addressing the following points so that we can select the best venue for NAPW2006. We will provide all the help we can from website to forms and processes - just ask. The Deadline is December 1, 2004.
