SAA understands that being a new member of the Society or of the profession,
or attending a large conference for the first time, can be a daunting experience.
That’s why we provide a variety of services and programs that can help
you survive—and thrive!—at New Orleans 2005 and beyond….
New
Member / First-Timer Orientation
Begin your day on Thursday by joining SAA President

make the
most of your time at New Orleans 2005. A light continental breakfast will
be served. (Thursday, 7:00 – 8:00 am)
