2010 Conference

The Pacific Northwest Association for Institutional Research and Planning Executive Committee is busy planning the 2010 Conference to be held in British Columbia. This will be our 31st annual conference and will most likely take place in October.

Call for presentation proposals

The PNAIRP Conference Committee is pleased to invite you to submit presentation proposals for the 2010 Conference. We welcome conference proposals on any aspect of IR and Planning professional practice, but especially encourage proposals that address the theme once determined.

Please consider sharing your expertise either through a paper presentation (45-minute sessions), a showcase session (10 to 20 minutes per presenter), or a panel discussion.

The 2010 PNAIRP Conference Committee is looking for proposals of completed research as well as works in progress. A work in progress does not necessarily have to be completed before the annual meeting, however enough information should be provided to stimulate discussion on the topic.

Proposals for pre-conference workshops are also invited under the general title, Tools of the Trade. Please share your knowledge on theoretical models/frameworks relating to higher education, relevant technological software (e.g., MS Excel, MS Access, SPSS, SAS, reporting software such as Tableau etc.), and/or statistical reporting techniques, or other areas of your practice. The Tools of the Trade sessions run for 90 minutes.

Proposals will be evaluated by at least two reviewers, using a blind-review process. The criteria used to evaluate the research proposals will include interest to practitioners, professional articulation of the research problem, and the appropriateness of the topic to the theme of the conference. You will find the proposal submission guidelines in the attached document.

Please forward this call for proposals to any colleagues who may be interested in presenting at our 2010 conference
