Friends, Colleagues, Students, and Professionals,

If you haven't yet registered to attend the SCRA 11th Biennial Conference, which is just weeks away, I have only one question.... "Why not?"

Of course your response might be... "Why should I?"

That's a great question, and I have 100's of great answers, but for now I will just share two:

#1.  The Society for Community Research and Action holds the leading conference dedicated solely to interdisciplinary scientific exchange across all areas of community psychology. 

#2.  It's being held in sunny southern California !
