Subject: Southern Gerontological Society Call for Abstracts Invitation

Dr. Neil H. Charness,

My name is Amanda James, and I am the new Executive Director of the Southern Gerontological Society (SGS). SGS is an inclusive membership association of diverse individuals and organizations with interests in gerontology. SGS's regional representation includes the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.

As a stakeholder in one of our states, I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that our Call for Abstracts for our 2022 Annual Conference has opened. Our conference will take place April 5 - 9, 2022 at the Sheraton Panama City Beach Golf & Spa Resort. We know there is amazing work happening across our region and invite you to share yours with our attendees. You can learn more about the Annual Conference here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/southerngerontologicalsociety.org/meeting.html__;!!PhOWcWs!i9SS3U4C3QnIudO41P0BakxjQoKLLytDSiB3Dn1b6v3R-4n-ct_Wy5dBPf18JJicuJ4$>. Our Call for Abstracts closes November 30, 2021. In addition to professional submissions, we encourage students to submit their work for consideration. We have several student awards including a travel scholarship. You can learn more about our student awards and scholarship here (as well as all our awards) here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/southerngerontologicalsociety.org/awards.html__;!!PhOWcWs!i9SS3U4C3QnIudO41P0BakxjQoKLLytDSiB3Dn1b6v3R-4n-ct_Wy5dBPf18O5-bCG4$>.

If you are interested in reaching our members and attendees as a sponsor, we have many opportunities and will happily customize a package based on your needs. I have attached some more information and you can learn more here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/southerngerontologicalsociety.org/meeting-sponsorship.html__;!!PhOWcWs!i9SS3U4C3QnIudO41P0BakxjQoKLLytDSiB3Dn1b6v3R-4n-ct_Wy5dBPf18N6EkgI0$>.

While we are hopeful that we will be able to provide a safe in-person experience, we are monitoring the pandemic situation and will make changes to our conference format if needed. Should any changes be made, we will work with accepted presenters and sponsor to adjust their participation as appropriate.
