The Middle Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies (MACLAS) is comprised of Mid-Atlantic region scholars, researchers, teachers, students, and interested professionals in all disciplines and pursuits. This region is comprised of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. MACLAS has as its objectives promoting and developing interest in Latin American studies and affairs. The organization was founded in Pittsburgh in 1979 and is one of the Latin American Studies Associations’ (LASA) affiliated regional organizations.

The MACLAS annual spring meeting features research-based panels and a business meeting. The association publishes a NEWSLETTER three times a year and LATIN AMERICAN ESSAYS once each year. NEWSLETTER editors are Maria Rieger and Reid Graham; administrative assistant is Christine Vican. The ESSAYS are a selection of papers presented at the annual meeting. The inclusion of a paper in the ESSAYS is considered a publication in a refereed journal. The Associate Editors of the ESSAYS are: Judy B. McInnis, Vera Reber, and Christina Turner. MACLAS also awards, annually, its Whitaker Prize for the best book, the Davis Prize for the best journal article, and the Street Prize for the best article in the ESSAYS. The Martz Award ($300) is for the best paper presented by a graduate student at the conference, while the Espadas Award ($300) recognizes the best paper presented by an undergraduate.

The affairs of MACLAS are governed by its Executive Committee. The Committee is composed of: President and Vice President, elected for one year terms; Secretary/Treasurer, appointed for a two-year term; and four additional members, elected for two-year terms.
