The Society for Community Research and Action is also well represented in the meetings. The theme of 2002 meetings is Environment and Health in the New Millennium, chosen not only because of the central importance of those topics to applied and practicing anthropology but also to reflect the wealth of research on environment and health at institutions in the Atlanta and Athens area. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a large presence in the meetings, providing a rich array of information on research topics concerning disease and health. The biomedical interests at Emory University, the extensive applied interests at Georgia State University, and the environmental interests at the University of Georgia are all well represented, as are other universities and colleges in the metro complex. The program also contains numerous sessions on other topics of fundamental interest to SfAA, including tourism, natural resource management (water, timber), and food production systems (agriculture, fishing), and business anthropology, among many others. Thursday’s special Plenary session (5:30-7:00) features a topic of critical interest to both health and environmental concerns. The speaker is Dr. Howard Frumkin, Chair of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, School of Public Health, at Emory University, and he is speaking on the health consequences of urban sprawl. A recep- tion follows the presentation, and everyone is welcome to attend the address and the reception. Later that evening (9:00), a reception will be held in honor of Carole Hill, for her extensive contributions to the Society for Applied Anthropology. A number of special workshops and panels are planned, ranging from business anthropology to applied training for graduate students to tourism to bio-terrorism. A list of those workshops and panels can be found in the pages immedi- ately following these welcoming comments. Thanks are due to a number of individuals who gave unstintingly of their time to help make the meetings a success. Members of the Program Committee (listed on the following page) all organized at least one session for the meeting in their areas of primary interest, and when the tragic events of 11 September 2001 occurred, and the consequent concerns about terrorism and about the flagging economy dampened the number of contributions to the meetings, every member of the Committee graciously agreed to organize at least one more session. The richness of the program is directly due to their efforts. The Local Program Committee was comprised of doctoral students at the University of Georgia (listed on the following page), and the students gave willingly of their time to help make the meetings a success. They took the lead in organizing the tours, pre-conference, in-conference, and post-conference. I wish to single out Cheryl McClary and Todd Crane, in particular, for their efforts in that regard. Beth Harvey went beyond the call of duty to encourage publishers to expand the books on display in the book exhibit, and she and Mikell Gleason organized the information and made the brochures about local tours and local restaurants. The SfAA office staff, Tom May, Neil Hann, Lindsey Jones, and Amanda Allen, were all unfailingly cooperative, supportive, and helpful. I could not have had more collegial and cordial working relationships, and I thank them pro- fusely for their support and help. Along similar lines, I received encouragement and support from previous Program Chairs, Willie Baber, Laurie Price, and Mark Grey, all much appreciated. Again, welcome to the SfAA meetings and to Atlanta. Enjoy the conference and your stay, and I look forward to seeing you all at the welcoming reception on Wednesday evening. Ben G.
