The Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality
Fundraising & Social Event – Fri., Nov. 7th, 7 to 10 PM. ^
Invites you to join us at Upstream Brewing Company for an evening
of abundant appetizers (shrimp wontons, hoisin glazed beef satays,
roasted corn and black bean tarts with avocado ranch dip, mini
pretzels with exotic mushrooms and more) and award winning,
hand-crafted beers – and the opportunity to connect with friends new
and old!
It’s our most accessible fundraiser yet – $40 for students and $70 for nonstudents. The Upstream Brewing Company is just a few blocks away
from our conference hotel – take a stroll with other attendees or make use
of the hotel’s free shuttle. At the event, we have our own private area
complete with our own bartender and pool tables. Add $5 to your ticket
price to participate in a beer tasting event with Upstream’s own
brewmaster! Purchase your beer tasting ticket at the FSSS booth in the
exhibit hall, during the event.
This event is the Foundation's annual-and only-fundraising event.
Your participation in this event provides support for a variety of sex
research projects. For example, our Grants-in-Aid Program provides up to
$1,000 (per grant) to support scientific sexuality research in areas not
likely to receive support from other sources. The money may be used for
either a small project that can be completed with the help of the grant or
as part of a larger study to complete the funding needed.
See www.fsssonline.org for more information about FSSS.
We welcome a donation if you can't join us. Can’t go but would like to support the foundation?
Here’s how! Complete the form on page 14, detach, and submit the form to the conference
registration desk.
Special opportunity for students: the first 10 students who sign up for the event will receive a
complimentary ticket to the event paid for by an anonymous benefactor.
The Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (FSSS) is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization devoted
exclusively to supporting scientific research related to sexuality.

This session is a poster only session and is designed to facilitate networking and the dissemination of recent work. Empirical work, lessons learned, theoretical
perspectives, and other forms of sexual science are welcome and encouraged. Work in progress for which one is seeking feedback and guidance or feedback from
colleagues is most welcome.
Given rapid changes in societies around the world that are associated with sexuality, the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality is launching a member's poster
session that seeks to provide opportunities for our members to share late breaking work and work in progress that was not ready for submission during the regular call
for abstracts. This session will become part of the Annual Meeting in future years as well, and is designed to provide a forum to ensure that our members are able to
share their important work with colleagues.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF SEXUALITY
The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality is an international organization dedicated to the advancement of
knowledge about sexuality. The Society brings together an interdisciplinary group of professionals who believe in the
importance of both the production of quality research and the clinical, educational, and social applications of research
related to all aspects of sexuality.
In 1957, The Society was founded to encourage rigorous systematic investigation of sexuality. The early 20th century had
produced phenomenal growth in scientific understanding; however, similar gains were not being made in understanding
sexuality, with knowledge often mixed with misunderstanding and confusion. Through interdisciplinary cooperation, The
Society continued to support the study of sexuality as a valid area of research by the scientific community.
A strength of The Society is the range of disciplines represented by its members, conference participants, and journal
authors. A broad interdisciplinary perspective is insured by dialogue and research contributions from biologists,
physicians, nurses, therapists, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, educators, and theologians.
Become a Society Member: Join the oldest organization in the United States of professionals interested in the study of
sexuality. Keep up-to-date with the latest findings from diverse areas of research. Establish a continuing dialogue with colleagues in
the sexual sciences who are working in a broad range of disciplines. Share your research, teaching, or clinical experiences with a
group of professionals interested in knowing your work. Become part of a close-knit community of serious researchers.
SSSS Membership Benefits: In addition to participation in regional activities, and reduced conference fees, members
receive: The Annual Review of Sex Research, The Journal of Sex Research, a scientific quarterly; Sexual Science, The Society's
newsletter that gives information about The Society and related activities of interest; and The Membership Directory, a yearly directory
of the membership. There are members-only and a student-members only listservs.
Discounts are available for regional, annual, and affiliates’ meetings. Your membership in SSSS actively supports The Society's work
in advancing knowledge about sexuality, rewarding research excellence, and promoting freedom of inquiry for researchers.
Eligibility for Membership: Membership is limited to applicants who have demonstrated an active professional commitment
to the advancement of knowledge about sexuality. Applications are reviewed by the Membership Committee to determine eligibility;
additional information may be requested.

After October 1, all membership dues paid will be applied to the next calendar year.

CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE)
CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE: If you complete the conference evaluation, SSSS will issue you a
Certificate of Attendance for the conference program. The Certificate of Attendance is awarded, at no additional cost,
for attendance only and does not imply evaluation of learning.
CE INTENT: CE is intended to meet the needs of professionals with terminal degrees. Anyone from the press is
allowed to attend CE session(s) only with permission of the CE Director, and the presenter(s). SSSS maintains the
right to refuse admission to anyone whom we deem unqualified to attend. It is the professional's responsibility to
determine the acceptability of these programs for specific licensure or certification needs. Anyone arriving 10 minutes
or more, late for the start of a CE session will not earn CE.
PRE-CONFERENCE CE: These sessions require full payment by the advance registration deadline. Even if you
are not earning CE, you need to pre-register if you are going to attend any Pre-conference CE sessions.
DURING CONFERENCE CE: Attendees wishing to earn CE must register and pay the CE participant fee of $25.
CE registrants will be given a CE badge. CE participants will receive a certificate via email, following the completion of
the event, provided they sign in/out of each room and return a completed evaluation form. SSSS will report all hours
to the approved agencies. If a room fills beyond capacity, CE credit-earners are given first priority for session
attendance.
APPROVAL BY PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR SSSS TO OFFER CE:
SSSS strives to maintain approvals to offer CE from professional sponsor-approval organizations. We have to adhere
to their criteria. In all CE sessions, as noted in the program, participants must sign in and out, complete a participant's
satisfaction form, and complete an assessment of learning to earn a CE attendance document. SSSS does not condone,
recommend, or support any products mentioned in any CE sessions. SSSS maintains responsibility for the program.
