    Welcome to the University of Illinois And The 10th Biennial SCRA Conference Welcome to the 10th Biennial Conference of the Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA). The theme of the 10th Biennial is Forty Years Post-Swampscott: Community Psychology in Global Perspective. This year’s Biennial provides us with a unique opportunity to review the history of community psychology from multiple vantage points and create a vision for the future of the field. With over 130 symposia, roundtables, innovative sessions, town meetings, and invited presentations as well as 170 poster presentations, this conference promises to be intellectually exciting. The Biennial is a place to share and explore your ideas, learn new approaches, and become reinvigorated with enthusiasm for your work. Attend one of the many concurrent sessions, community dialogues, and interest group meetings, take part in the visioning process, participate in mentoring activities, and socialize with your colleagues at the Opening Reception and the Saturday evening banquet. In all of these venues, we hope you will find the conference professionally rewarding. If you are a long-standing SCRA member, this Biennial provides a time to reconnect with colleagues and deepen collaborative relationships. If this is your first Biennial, please take the opportunity to develop new relationships and gather new ideas. Enjoy your time on the University of Illinois campus and do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything that you need throughout the conference. Sincerely, Mark Aber Conference
