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: The AFA 2020 Annual Meeting will be

held January 3–5, 2020 (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday) in San Diego, California:

ASSA Headquarters will be the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina and

the AFA hotel will be the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Registration and Housing

information will be available on the AEA website in mid-August and other

meeting information is available now at https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/.

Attendees must go through the official housing company to get the convention

rates.

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 United States 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.
