look forward to-from our
popular Book Fair to the
After Hours Café, themed
breakfast tables, the

Association's Future: And,
of course, you don't want
to miss ATA updates at
the Opening Session and
the Annual Meeting of All

celebrate our distinguished
colleagues being honored
with ATA Awards this year.
We'll also hear from the

director positions this
year!). Remember that our
Association is only as strong
as our volunteers, whose
energy and enthusiasm
are key to ATA's growth.

the hotel is within walking
