PAA Insider
Newsletter
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 hard 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.
