New England-Maritimes Region

Call for Event Proposals

If you have an idea for an event, we welcome proposals from regional members. Our goal is to sponsor events in different parts of the region to benefit the greatest possible number of members. Such events will be organized by members and supported with regional financial and promotional assistance, provided that the event is open to any regional member. Graduate students with a faculty mentor are eligible to apply. We have set a rolling deadline to make it possible to submit an application at any time. If you have an idea or inquiry and want feedback, please contact the regional coordinator, Grove Harris at groveharris@gmail.com.  Proposals should be sent directly to June-Ann Greeley at GreeleyJ@sacredheart.edu. Please review the variety of past cosponsored events, but do not let these formats limit your ideas.

Cosponsoring Conferences

Instead of organizing a single annual regional meeting, which relatively few people attend, NEMAAR will function as a cosponsor of conferences proposed by members around the region. NEMAAR’s contribution will involve grants of up to $800 to help support conference-related costs. Proposals should be sent to June-Ann Greeley at GreeleyJ@sacredheart.edu, and should include a conference title, an abstract, a list of projected speakers, schedule, contact person, and a budget that indicates how the NEMAAR grant will be used. If submitted by graduate students, a faculty mentor must be identified. Proposals have a rolling deadline.

Teaching Workshops

The topics of greatest interest to our members include course development and teaching skills. If you would like to organize a teaching workshop, NEMAAR will provide grants of up to $800 to help support conference-related costs. Proposals should be sent to June-Ann Greeley at GreeleyJ@sacredheart.edu, and should include a workshop title, abstract, list of projected speakers and/or facilitators, schedule, contact person, and a budget that indicates how the NEMAAR grant will be used. If submitted by graduate students, a faculty mentor must be identified. Proposals have a rolling deadline.

Salon Series

NEMAAR's Salon Series is a lunch and/or dinner series, held in different parts of the region, focusing on the work of regional authors (these can be works in progress). NEMAAR will provide grants of up to $400 to help support related costs. Proposals should be sent to June-Ann Greeley at GreeleyJ@sacredheart.edu, and should include a title, abstract, list of authors and/or facilitators, schedule, contact person, and a budget that indicates how the NEMAAR grant will be used. If submitted by graduate students, a faculty mentor must be identified. Proposals have a rolling deadline.

If you have an idea that is not listed here but that you feel is consistent with the above mentioned goals please send an inquiry to June-Ann Greeley at GreeleyJ@sacredheart.edu!
