American Anaplastology Association
The AAA membership voted during the 2007 annual meeting to change the name of the association. In part, this is recognition of growing awareness of the field and a plurality of members who reside and practice outside the United States. The official launch of the new name and the unveiling of the new logo will take place during the 2008 conference in Atlanta, GA. During the course of 2008 the old logo and name will be used.
Meanwhile, a competition is underway for the new logo and members are encouraged to submit an entry. More information on this can be found here. The board has decided that the deadline for logo entries will be July 1, 2008. Entries should be submitted in pdf or jpeg format to Jerry Schoendorf at .
