To Be Presented at the Membership Luncheon

Friday, April 11th at the 2014 meeting of the EFA in Pittsburgh

2014 Eastern Finance Association Meeting

April 9–12, at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The EFA 2014 annual meeting will be another excellent opportunity for aca-

demics, doctoral students, and practitioners to share ideas across all areas of financial

research. As Program Chair, I invite you to submit for consideration your latest re-

search, along with proposals for special sessions, tutorials, and panel discussions.

Research covering the broad range of finance topics will be considered along with

opportunities for sessions focused on pedagogy and current issues in finance. The

deadline for submissions is Monday, September 16, 2013.

Volunteers are needed! The success of the EFA annual meeting depends heavily

on the dedication of the EFA Program Committee and program participants. Program

Committee members review submitted papers and abstracts (September–October)

and organize academic sessions by recruiting chairs and discussants (December–

January). Discussants and session chairs provide an integral part of the experience of

the academic sessions. You may volunteer for any of these roles by visiting the EFA

website, www.easternfinance.org, and clicking on the “Participate” link.

The EFA encourages participation by doctoral students. The EFA meeting reg-

istration fee will be waived for all graduate students with an accepted paper on the
