Greetings, CITASA friends! I want to remind everyone that nominations are now being accepted for this year's section awards. The deadlines are March 15th for everything except the book award, which is February 15th, to give the committee members more time to read lengthier works. Gina Neff has put together a slate of altruistic individuals to oversee the process. I've included their names below. Unfortunately, they don't appear on the official ASA website for our section awards yet. That is, however, the place to find descriptions of each award. http://www.asanet.org/sections/communication_awards.cfm If you send a nomination, please be sure to send it to this year's Chair of the appropriate committee. I'm sure they'll be duly noted on the ASA website soon, but at least you have them here, for now. >From Chicago, wishing you all the best for an uneventful finals week and a joyous holiday season!
