Dear All
The time has come to determine the host for the 2014 IASPM UK and Ireland Conference. I am writing to you to collect votes, as three institutions have put in proposals. Below, you will find summaries of the proposals; attached are the proposers' original documents for further information on the location and programme ideas.
Please send details of FIRST AND SECOND choices directly to me ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by 3rd April (three weeks from today). In the event that the first choices do not identify a clear majority for one institution (i.e., greater than 50%), then the second choices will be distributed across the two institutions leading on first choices, such that one institution will carry a clear majority.
Please also note that certain details (especially cost of registration) are necessarily provisional at this stage.
Thanks in advance
Freya
