FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
Friends:
In just a few weeks, the ASMEA Conference Committee will make its selections from the submitted paper proposals for presentation at the upcoming Fifth Annual Conference. If you would like to present your latest research or scholarly paper at the Conference, now is the time to submit your proposal. The deadline for submission is Tuesday, May 15. 
The Conference program is coming together and we are anticipating another stimulating and fascinating series of panels, roundtables, and speakers. We are pleased to confirm two major addresses will be delivered by two outstanding scholars: Prof. Kanan Makiya and Dr. Gérard Prunier. In addition, we are currently working on discussions that will address such timely issues as Iran, Turkey, South Sudan, and the Arab Spring. Be sure to guarantee your seat at the Fifth Annual ASMEA Conference on October 11-13, 2012 in Washington, DC by registering today.
I am honored to announce that Prof. Sabri Sayari and Prof. Moshe Sharon have recently joined the ASMEA Academic Council. I am confident that the ASMEA community will benefit greatly from their scholarship and leadership.
Finally, in advance of his highly anticipated memoir, ASMEA Chairman Prof. Bernard Lewis was profiled in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The piece also mentions his motivation to found ASMEA.
As always, we look forward to hearing from you and I would like to encourage your active participation in ASMEA. We remain honored to count you among our ranks.
Sincerely,
Mark T. Clark, Ph.D.
President, ASMEA
