ANNOUNCEMENTS

AFA Financial and Board Meeting Summaries: The AFA Board of Direc-

tors has voted to publish a Board Meeting Summary to increase transparency

of AFA governance and decisions made by the Board. Recent Board Meeting

Summaries as well as AFA Financial Statements are posted on the AFA website

(www.afajof.org). We hope that this additional communication is informative

and we welcome your feedback.

AFA Annual Meeting Programs: AFA Annual Meeting Programs since 1950

are included in the set of all ASSA Programs available at the American Eco-

nomics Association website (http://www.aeaweb.org/Annual Meeting/assa pro-

grams/). Digitizing of the older programs was a joint effort of the AFA and the

AEA.

AFA Student Travel Grant Nominations: This year the Association will

again award travel grants to doctoral students to help defray the costs of

attending our 2020 Annual Meeting to be held in San Diego, California. Any

current AFA member in the U.S. or abroad is invited to nominate one student,

whom he or she has taught or supervised, to be considered for this award. The

student must be a member of the Association (student online memberships are

available free at www.afajof.org; must be beyond the first year in her or his

doctoral studies in finance, financial economics, or a related field; and must not

be on the job market during the academic year in which the grant is made. No

student may participate in this grant program more than once. Awards will

be determined based on recommendations and the award amount will factor

travel cost to the Annual Meeting from the student’s institution as well as

the number of nominations from the student’s school. Please watch the AFA

website (www.afajof.org) and your email for more details.
