Tradition suggests that the annual conference move about the state so to maximize the number of regions visited in a four year cycle, in order to maximize opportunities for students who may have trouble traveling to distant parts of the state.
Our organization has not been hosted by a Bay Area institution in many years. We've been seeking a host from this region for some time. If you're from the Bay Area or the nearby Wine Country, please consider hosting a spring conference.
