ALLIED SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATIONS
1979 ANNUAL MEETINGS • ATLANTA • DEC. 28-30
Dear ASSA Member:
On behalf of the Atlanta convention committee
for the 1979 ASSA annual meeting, I am pleased to
welcome you. This is the first time such a meeting
has been held here, and we hope you will find it
especially productive and pleasant. The convention
committee stands ready to help any way it can and
welcomes any suggestions you have for improving
future meetings.
While Atlanta is noted for its southern hospitality,
please recognize that it is like any other large urban
center. There have been recent instances of muggings
and fatal shootings of conventioneers on streets very
close to the hotels. I make it a practice never to
walk downtown at night even when in a group and urge
you to follow my example for your personal safety.
A convention of this size requires a lot of time
and work. Many thanks are due the Vice Chair, the
Convention Manager, and the committee chairpersons
for their fine effort. I also appreciate the support
of the local institutions and firms with which these
individuals are affiliated.
Sincerely,
Harry Brandt, Chairman
