ASK THE EXECUTIVE BOARD.

The article discusses the new column "Ask the Executive Board" in AALL Spectrum, which aims to foster open communication and enhance the connection between library patrons and the Executive Board. The Executive Board addresses questions from library patrons, including the possibility of offering a hybrid option for the Annual Meeting. The Board explains that offering a hybrid conference is challenging and cost-prohibitive, and previous experiences with hybrid conferences have been unsatisfactory for both virtual and in-person attendees. However, the Board ensures that all members have access to conference programming through audio recordings and Power Point slides. Additionally, the article explains how programs are selected for the Annual Meeting and how the location of the conference is determined. The Board considers various factors, including accessibility for members and the availability of attractions and cultural experiences in the city. The article concludes by mentioning the upcoming conferences in Portland, Oregon, and Cleveland, Ohio. [Extracted from the article]
