Announcements
Work on the 2021 National Meeting is well underway. It will take place in New Orleans from November 13-15. More details will be available soon, but there is a discussion about offering it as a "hybrid" meeting with some sort of online access. Stay tuned!
Time to renew your AACO membership! Because of a number of factors, the first due notice was somewhat delayed, so the $50 late fee doesn't kick in until April 13th. June 30th is still the final deadline for the year as required in the bylaws. CLICK HERE to renew now! (Be sure to have your dues renewal notice handy.)
NEW! Our longtime member and mentor to many, Sara Shippman, has been experiencing frustration with her email since her recent retirement from the NYEEI. She's concerned that messages sent to her old address aren't getting through, so please check the AACO Online Member Directory for her updated information. Member log-in is needed to access the directory.
The IOA Congress 2020 to be held in June has been cancelled. It has been rescheduled for June 2022 in the same place, Liverpool UK.
