Participate in IATA's New Research Roundtable!  

IATA would like to offer our members participation in a new Research Roundtable. Participants will submit drafts for review by other group members and receive basic encouragement to get writing!  Every two months, we'll have a meet-up at a local coffee shop to talk about our progress and celebrate victories.

For more information, contact Sara Miller at sarammiller@gmail.com. 

Email Sara by May 8th if you're interested in participating. First draft submissions are due by May 15th. Don't let that deadline scare you, just get writing. And remember, we're looking for FIRST drafts.  You just need one page or more!
