Please fill out and return the yearbook survey by emailing it to mvcac@mvcac.org by March 23, 2026 to get your districts updated information in this year's yearbook. 

Call for Proceedings Papers

Deadline: Wednesday, April 15


A contribution to the Proceedings is expected from every speaker or poster presenter at the annual meeting of the MVCAC. A full paper is encouraged; however, presenters may submit an “extended abstract”. Because the Proceedings is not ‘peer reviewed’, publication will not preclude submission of a full manuscript elsewhere.
