NERA Conference 2009
Thanks to all of you who helped us celebrate NERA’s 40th birthday at the 2009 Conference! Held at the beautiful Hartford Marriott Rocky Hill, October 21 -23, 2009, the program included 124 individual paper presentations, 14 symposia, 42 posters, and 2 working groups. If you were unable to attend, or just want to re-live the memories, be sure to check out the Conference Highlights.

A Toast to NERA,
An organization of scholars, a community of mentors, and a family of friends.
Based on tradition, while always poised for change. May the next 40 years
be as fruitful as the first.

~Phil Archer

Planning is already underway for the 2010 Conference–we hope to see you there!
