National Education Finance Conference

I am a little late in posting this, but 2011 will mark the inaugural year of the National Education Finance Conference, an annual event intended to allow for "collaboration among legislators, postsecondary education, school district and state agency personnel, professional organizations, and researchers concerned with the importance of equity, adequacy, and efficiency concepts that affect state, local, and federal revenue generation, distribution, and expenditures." 

I have been in contact with the organizers, who include some of the more well-recognized scholars of school finance and education funding litigation, and the conference sounds really terrific.  Best of all, the venue is beautiful Tampa, Florida (one of my former hometowns).  If you have a paper in the works on a school finance-related topic, please consider submitting a proposal to present.  The deadline is January 15th, 2011.  For more information see here.
