SSCA • 06 76th C ONVENTION

Dear SSCA Members and Conventioneers: WELCOME I hope you are as excited about this convention as I. Hundreds of individuals have spent countless hours to make this event possible and unfortunately, nobody can take in more than a small part of what they have made available to us. Let me identify some sessions you should consider attending:

Plenary sessions. Roderick P. Hart, Shivers Chair of Communication and Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin will present a keynote address at the close of the first day of the convention. Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Carolina, will address the convention theme of “Excellence” at our awards luncheon on Saturday.

Crisis Communication Sessions. Scholars from across our region have responded energetically to the tragedies resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A sequence of eight panels reporting this work has been scheduled for the first day of the conference. The day will conclude with a performance session based on the narratives of Katrina survivors.

Workshops. Continuing this innovation from last year’s convention, we are offering eight double-session workshops that provide opportunities for active participation and thorough discussion. Topics from job seeking to writing textbooks should appeal to members in any stage of an academic career.

Breakfast Roundtable Discussions. On Saturday morning, you can start the day with a stimulating conversation about issues of current importance to our profession while enjoying a light breakfast. Table topics range from the role of spirituality in our discipline to the war in Iraq.

Social Events. The Conference Welcome Reception on Thursday, the Awards Luncheon on Saturday, and the Osborn Reception for award winners and UHC participants Saturday evening provide great opportunities for starting, building, or nurturing the relationships that make SSCA a “family” organization.

I have enjoyed the challenge of organizing these events. Many aided my efforts: approximately 600 individuals prepared papers and panel presentations; 19 division and interest group vice chairs worked diligently to ensure that the best work of their members was presented; Rob Ulmer and Trudy Hanson helped with the association’s responses to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma; Deanna Dannels organized the preconference. Also, I am grateful for the workshop and breakfast roundtable discussion leaders who shared my vision for this conference. My predecessors in this office left a legacy that I have strived to emulate. Ken Cissna has been especially generous with his time as I have frequently sought his guidance. Emmett Winn provided a steady hand throughout this process. Emily Cain, my efficient and diligent graduate assistant, handled almost all of the organizational work of scheduling the sessions and producing the program. My faculty colleagues at Southern Miss helped or covered for me in various ways as I attended SSCA duties. I am especially grateful to Elliott Pood, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, for his support of our department’s involvement in the association.

Take a few moments to look closely at what is available at the conference and I am certain you will share my enthusiasm.

Charles H. Tardy
