Regional Commission The Appalachian Studies Association would like to thank Cherokee High School’s principal, Ken Ball, its staff, teachers, and students for making us welcome and for joining in the conference. About the ASA The Appalachian Studies Association (ASA) was founded in 1977 by scholars, teachers, and regional activists who believed that shared community is important to those writing, researching, and teaching about the region. The association provides a forum for dialogue and action by bringing together people devoted to Appalachia, its history, culture and challenges, who want to learn from each other and work for community and regional improvement. Its mission is to encourage study, advance scholarship, disseminate information, and enhance communication among Appalachian peoples, their communities, governmental organizations, and educational institutions. The Appalachian Studies Conference, the annual gathering of ASA members, is held on a rotating basis at sites in Northern, Central, and Southern Appalachia. The Conference has several purposes: to share work in progress, to foster cooperation between disciplines, to stimulate new work of significance, and to provide a forum for community-based and regional issues. The Journal of Appalachian Studies(JAS) is a refereed journal published twice a year by the Appalachian Studies Association (ASA) with support from Marshall University. Appalink, the newsletter of the Appalachian Studies Association, is also published twice a year. The editor welcomes submissions for announcements and news. Visit the ASA website: http://www.appalachianstudies.org to find out more about the association and how to become a member. APPALACHIAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION PRESIDENTS: 1987 - 2003 2003-2004 Thomas S.
