Happy Friday All (or whenever this message may reach you),

Just as a reminder, the conference this fall will be hosted by the University of Central Oklahoma on Friday, October 23rd.  Details on the conference are available at OK-AIR.org.  And to that end, in order to have a full agenda and schedule for the conference, we need to have proposals submitted.  The OK-AIR board highly encourages anyone to submit a proposal on any topic that would be of interest to higher education professionals working in research, assessment, planning or any of the wide variety of functions that our attendees have gained experience.

We still need several submissions, so please do not hesitate to volunteer. And of course as an incentive, registration costs will be waived in their entirety for all those that wish to present or lead a group. That's right presenters attend FREE! YOU CAN'T BEAT FREE! (Unless you're getting paid, and since we've got our annual fall conference gift-card giveaways, statistically there is a chance you could be paid in a way...awesome!)

Proposals will be due by Friday, October 2nd.  To submit a proposal, please fill out the attached Word document and submit the proposal to:

Matthew Eastwood, OKAIR President
