Places to hold conferences

[Gene Spafford]

I should clarify something from my previous post:

I am not aware of the board actually voting on whether or not to hold
something in Arizona.  I was told by Ellie Young that the Board would
likely never approve a meeting in Arizona because of the political
implications.   Speaking informally with Mike O'Dell and Ed Gould at
the last SEDMS gave me no indication otherwise.   

BTW, Hawaii is also out as a meeting spot....even though it is cheaper
for me to fly to Hawaii than it is to fly to NY or Florida, and I can
get rooms there for about $85 per night per person (based on double
occupancy).   Plus, it is closer to the people in Japan and Australia
who have been coming to our Symposium. That isn't a political issue,
but it is also unfortunate.
