> AHEAD invites proposals for its thirty-first annual conference to be
> held in Reno, Nevada, July 14-19, 2008. The Association provides
> opportunities for professional development to those who work to assure
> usable, sustainable and inclusive higher education environments for
> students, faculty, and staff with disabilities and who believe society
> is ultimately enriched by difference.
>
> Exploring a new direction for AHEAD, conference sessions will be
> organized under ten topical strands that are related to the overall
> conference theme. While all submitted proposals must be addressed to
> one of the ten strands, we have worked to develop broad strands that
> encourage innovative, provocative proposals.
>
> The topical strands include:
>
> * The intersection between students with disabilities and
> disability service centers
>
> * The intersection between higher education and transition
>
> * The intersection between disability and technology
>
> * The intersection between disability and graduate/professional
> programs
>
> * The intersection between disability and the academic curriculum
>
> * The intersection between disability and the co-curriculum
>
> * The intersection between disability and the policy environment
>
> * The intersection between the disability service professional and
> legal issues
>
> * The intersection between disability and diversity
>
> * The intersection between higher education and external forces
>
> I hope you will take some time to review the Call for Proposals and
> consider proposing a session. This year the deadline for
> submissions is
> November 5, 2007, so that program decisions can be made by January,
> 2008. Program proposals must be submitted electronically.
> The Call for
> Proposals in its entirety, along with the submission form, is
> available
> at http://www.ahead.org/training/conference/cfp/
>
> The 2008 Conference will also incorporate some new strategies aimed at
> both improving accessibility of the conference for all attendees and
> responding to environmental issues. Our intent is to enhance
> the use of
> technology and preplanning to reduce the use of natural
> resources while
> assuring valuable content is fully available. This move will involve
> the participation of all presenters and is fully outlined in the Call
> for Proposals. We thank you in advance for your assistance
> in reaching
> these goals.
> We welcome your thoughts and proposals! To discuss possible ideas or
> other Conference program matters, please feel contact either Richard
> Allegra, AHEAD's Director of Professional Development, at
