Some of the highlights - Both conferences were held in greater Boston this year, @ Endicott and Regis. Endicott's seaside manor, with its spiral staircase and ballroom, has to be one of the most elegant settings we've seen in recent memory. Handling local arrangements at Endicott was NESA President-Elect, <st1:PersonName>Mel Manson</st1:PersonName>, and capably&nbsp;doing the same at Endicott was New England Sociologist of the Year, Alex Liazos. Never again will we have a 'liaison' with&nbsp;such an appropriate surname: Liazos the liaison! <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Verdana; mso-hansi-font-family: Verdana; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings"><SPAN style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings">J</SPAN></SPAN></P> <P class=Text>Continuing a theme from earlier conferences, the President of each institution delivered opening&nbsp;welcoming remarks, a nice touch. We've also seen increased undergraduate student involvement, something that the Executive Council has actively worked to bring about. And we have welcomed scholars and students from as far afield as NYC and NJ in addition to our usual 6-state region.</P> <P class=Text>Next year, we will look to some new venues, including New Hampshire, and to continuing with NESA's <EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Gemeinschaft&nbsp;</SPAN></EM>spirit, as Michael Fraleigh is often wont to&nbsp;note, even as we grow the organization.</P> <P class=Text>We look to continue what I have been calling 'cross-pollination' - collaboration with other, like-minded organizations such as AHS, ESS, and ASA. Having ASA representatives and brochures at the spring conference, as well as listing NESA&nbsp;conferences and awards in ASA publications such as <EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Footnotes,</SPAN></EM>&nbsp;is just one such example.
