panel for the November AAA meetings in Baltimore (November 17-21, 2021), you may request an “annual meeting registration waiver” for a participant on your panel who might otherwise not attend the annual meeting (see description by AAA below). The waiver is
designed to provide support to non-AAA members, such as international scholars or scholars in the US or Canada in fields outside of anthropology. If you are interested in applying for one of these waivers, please contact me at
<a href="mailto:kira.hall@colorado.edu" class="">kira.hall@colorado.edu</a> by April 25, at the very latest. The waiver application is brief but is due to the AAA on Monday, April 26.</span></font></span></div>

not filed their annual reports are not eligible for guest waivers. Guest registrations that are unused or unallocated after April 26 will go back into a pool, and a lottery will be held to redistribute unclaimed guest registrations. A section wishing to request
additional guest registrations distributed through the lottery must submit, along with the original request, information for up to three additional qualifying scholars, ranked in order of priority. As all waivers are generally not claimed, we use the lottery
as outlined above to award any unclaimed waivers. </span></font></div>
