Stockyard between 5:30pm – 9:30pm. The last shuttle buses will depart the River Ranch Stockyard
Nevertheless, the transition to this new model has required much of our location at 9:45pm.
Executive Director, C.C. Felker, and on behalf of the Society I thank him for his
efforts over these past months to ensure the success of this new conference
planning model.
As with last year’s meeting, we will once again live-stream every panel and
major event for those members who are attending virtually. This is an enormous
task requiring a great deal of resources, a robust information technology
backbone, and savvy technical expertise. Once again, we have called on the
redoubtable Maysan Haydar to manage the hybrid portion of the conference,
and I personally thank her for her willingness to serve in this capacity. She is a
Society treasure.
Thanks also to our sponsors, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech University, and
Texas A&M University-Central Texas. Their contributions to the meeting, whether
in resources or volunteer labor, are much appreciated.
Fort Worth prides itself on being the city where the West began. For those
attending in-person, I hope you find time to get out and enjoy the Stockyards.
Mask up and stay safe.
Sincerely,
4 Peter R. Mansoor 5
