  3. PAA Insider Newsletter
  4. The first PAA Insider newsletter was released in January 1997. The reason for starting this newsletter was to publish most of the Association business that might not be appropriate for the Journal. The newsletter will also allow for more timely publishing of letters to the editor, information & registration information about the upcoming Annual Meeting, news items, employment, and similar information. The Newsletter is published quarterly (four times a year). To receive the newsletters, they may be received via e-mail when an address is provided or by paying an additional fee set by the Executive Committee to receive a printed copy [currently $10/year]. It is also accessible on the website once it has been published: http://www.umaine.edu/paa/paainsiderindex.htm. This is a benefit for Sustaining Members and Emeritus Members.
