50th Anniversary Conference Announcement
Make plans to attend the 50th annual meeting of the Academy of Economics and Finance in Mobile, Alabama, February 13-16, 2013.

The Academy quickly grew to include the Mid-South states, and then the entire southeastern US. In the last few decades, the Academy has encompassed national and international attendance.
