Proposals for Conference presentations are due by November 18, 2011. TALAE Conference presentations are done by volunteers, meaning that if presenters need support to cover the cost of conference attendance, they will need to contact their local program or regional GREAT Center, some of which may be able to cover some presenters’ costs if those arrangements are made in advance.
