Take a Walk on the East Side !

Plans are well underway for an amazing spring conference in Bishop, April 29-May 1st, 2011. We are very excited!!!

The California Geography Society conferences are unique. Not only are our conferences exceptionally student-friendly, they are also known for outstanding research presentations, positive and fun collegiality, unique settings and unforgettable field trips.

This year again, we have a roster of world-class speakers and out-of-this world field excursions in the works, so don't miss out. Registration will begin in early Februrary, but you should go ahead and consider making lodging arrangements now.

We were worried about a potential lodging crisis during this period of the Spring, but we've been assured that folks who book motel rooms early should have no problem finding a place to stay. Of course, camping and other non-traditional accommodations will be available.

Please visit the links on the left navigation bar to read more about the 2011 conference.

We would like to also extend our deepest gratitude to Dolly Friedel, the longtime editor of our excellent journal The California Geographer. Dolly has asked for a well-earned break from her duties and we are seeking a high quality replacement. Please read the job description and contact Bob Voeks or Steve Graves if you're interested in becoming the next editor of the California Geographer.
