Dear WRSA Members and Friends,

I'm sure no one saw this coming. As in past years, we are extending the 
WRSA paper submission deadline for this year's meeting, our 56th, in 
Santa Fe, New Mexico (February 15-18, 2017). The final deadline will be 
*November 18*, following the North American Meeting of the RSAI in 
Minneapolis. That date will be our _hard_ deadline for papers, to allow 
time for manuscript review and preliminary program preparation.

If your paper is ready to submit, please do go ahead and upload it on 
the WRSA website <http://www.wrsaonline.org/newsite/>. However, for 
those in need of the extra time to get their papers polished (or 
completed), we're happy to be able to offer a few weeks of extra 
breathing room.

With regard to travel arrangements for the meeting, now is the time! 
Especially for those hoping to fly in to the Santa Fe airport, earlier 
booking will likely result in cheaper airfares. The La Fonda 
<http://www.lafondasantafe.com>, our meeting hotel, is also already 
accepting room reservations. See below for details.

*- Paper Submission:* Papers should be uploaded to the WRSA website 
<http://www.wrsaonline.org/newsite/> by *November 18*. Remember that 
program invitations are only issued on the basis of full papers, not 
abstracts or outlines. Draft papers are sufficient for the November 
deadline, so long as we have a complete version in hand by the end of 
the year.

*- Hotel Reservations: *The La Fonda <http://www.lafondasantafe.com> is 
already accepting reservations under our room block. Our negotiated room 
rate is an excellent $149/night, plus applicable taxes. The La Fonda has 
agreed to honor our room rate, pending availability, three days pre- and 
post-meeting. After *January 13, 2017*, the hotel is no longer obliged 
to honor our negotiated rate. Rooms may be reserved via this link 
<https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=207&Chain=56&template=fSAFLF&shell=fSAFLF2&arrive=2/12/2017&depart=2/22/2017&adult=1&child=0&group=797726> 
or by calling 800-523-5002 <tel:800-523-5002> and referencing the 
Western Regional Science Association.

*- Student Conference Assistants:* WRSA is seeking several students to 
assist with meeting registration in Santa Fe. In exchange for 8-10 hours 
of volunteering at the registration desk, students will receive a 
complete rebate of their preregistration fees (worth $150, to be 
processed as a refund following the meeting). Contact 
rachel_franklin at brown.edu <mailto:rachel_franklin at brown.edu> if you're 
interested.

*- Session Chairs and Paper Discussants: *If you’re planning to come to 
Santa Fe and won’t be presenting a paper, we are always VERY happy to 
assign you session chair or paper discussant duties, if you’re willing. 
Just drop us an email to let us know your preferences and availability 
constraints.

All the best,

Rachel
