[Air-L] MEA Convention 2013: problematic dates

[Janet Sternberg]

Yes, Sam, every year the MEA Board does try to consider the timing of 
ICA in planning our annual convention, which takes place sometime in 
June. Certain years the scheduling works better than others, depending 
on the ICA host country and the MEA host institution. Because the MEA 
holds conventions at universities and colleges instead of hotels, the 
availability of our host institution facilities is usually the deciding 
factor, and we hope that future scheduling can accommodate better those 
unable to attend both events next year.
Regards to all,
Janet

The ICA conference will be held in London from June 15-19, so that anyone attending there will have a hard time making it back to Michigan in time for the MEA -- assuming that once overseas, the ICA attendees tend to stay on for a mini-vacation in our former "Motherland". FYI.
