President's Message
Last week the AAEA Board formally canceled the in-person meeting in Kansas City. The Board has been deliberate in the process as we dealt with the financial ramifications of the decision. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this decision. We will have a virtual meeting and are working on those plans now. Details will be coming soon and again thank you to the many who have worked to provide continuity. AAEA News 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting Update After receiving your feedback, conducting research to explore other options, and discussions to mitigate potential losses with the host hotel site, the AAEA Board has decided to cancel the in-person 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, MO due to the ongoing issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We know many of you waited for this decision to make your plans, but hope you understand our need to minimize the potential negative impact on our organization. We are still looking into virtual annual meeting options – stay tuned for additional details. If you already registered for the annual meeting, AAEA Staff will reach out to you to issue a full refund. Please allow a couple of weeks to hear from us; if you have not received an email about your refund by July 1, please contact us at info@aaea.org. We appreciate all of your feedback and patience during these unprecedented times. 2020 AAEA Mentoring Research Workshop The objective of this workshop is mentor junior faculty (less than 5 years) to transition to agricultural and applied economic departments by providing an orientation to expectations for research, teaching and outreach and develop effective strategies for success.
