Just a reminder that the deadline to submit session proposals for the Upstate History Alliance/Museum Association of New York Annual Conference is December 15, 2005. We are currently seeking proposals for conference sessions that discuss or explore aspects related to our theme of "It's About People." We are interested in creating a provocative and diverse program for this conference, and welcome proposals from museums of every discipline, as well as from all areas within institutions -- collections, exhibitions, education/outreach, development, administration, governance. The UHA/MANY Annual Conference is the largest gathering of museum professionals in the state. Each year it brings together a diverse array of individuals from all types and sizes of museums, historical societies, and similar cultural organizations. We are excited to be holding this year's conference at the historic Gideon Putnam Hotel in Saratoga Springs, a member of the Historic Hotels of America. For instructions on how to submit a session proposal, please visit the Upstate History Alliance website at www.upstatehistory.org. If you have any questions, please contact Jenny Rosenzweig, Program Coordinator, at 800.895.1648 or by email at [log in to unmask]
