Hello Members of the ECA Interpersonal Communication Interest Group!
I hope that you are all busy working on your ECA submissions for our interest group, due October 15 (it will be here before we know it!). I've included the call below for your reference. You also received a message from Alan about the awesome workshops on mediation/moderation and qualitative methods that are being offered at ECA this year. I hope you consider registering for those as well! Here's the link to register: https://www.ecacomm.org/aws/ECA/pt/sp/convention_special_events Please pass along the interest group call to your friends and colleagues, even those outside of our discipline.
Let me know if you have any questions about or issues with submissions. For those of you who volunteered to paper read, respond, and/or chair, I will be in touch soon.
Thanks everyone!
Have a great day, Aimee Miller-Ott (aeott@ilstu.edu)

**CALL FOR PAPERS**
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION INTEREST GROUP
111th EASTERN COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
“Harboring Innovation”
Baltimore, MD April 1-5, 2020
The Interpersonal Communication Interest Group is seeking paper and panel submissions for ECA's 111th Annual Convention to be held at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor from April 1-5, 2020. The convention will center on past innovations in our field and how we can continue to innovate to remain relevant and cutting-edge.
Paper and panel/program submissions must be received by the end of the day on October 15, 2019.
ECA uses Attendee Interactive to manage submissions and reviews. Please follow this link, https://www.ecacomm.org/aws/ECA/pt/sp/convention_attendee_interactive for details.
In keeping with the theme of innovation, please consider ways that interpersonal scholars and teachers innovate in our research and in the classroom. We invite two types of submissions.
Individual Paper Submission Guidelines:
Individual papers are completed papers that report original research, provide an extensive literature review, or showcase some other form of scholarship. Papers should be no more than 25 double-spaced pages, use Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins (excluding title page, abstract, references, and appendices), and comply with the guidelines set forth in APA 6th edition. If the paper has multiple authors, submitter should indicate who will be presenting at the convention.

Panel/Program Proposal Submission Guidelines:
In addition to traditional panel submissions in which three to four speakers present individual papers on a specific topic area, and in keeping with the theme of innovation, please consider submitting panels that are unique in composition and format. For instance, you might consider proposing a debate-style panel in which panelists take and present two opposite positions on an interpersonal topic or pedagogical approach. You might also consider submitting a panel in which one or two panelists interview a prolific scholar or outstanding instructor in our field about their professional experiences. Submissions should comply with APA 6th edition.
Submissions of program/panel proposals should include the following elements in one MS Word file (.doc or .docx):

I/We agree to present this panel or paper if it is accepted and programmed. I/We further recognize that all who attend and present at ECA’s annual meeting must register and pay required fees.
