ABA Booksellers Advisory Council to Convene

ABA's Booksellers Advisory Council (BAC) will be meeting with representatives of the ABA Board and senior staff in Miami, Florida, on Sunday and Monday, January 11 - 12, to offer the association guidance on a number of issues important to independent booksellers. The BAC is composed of 25 members and represents a broad cross-section of views from within the community of independent booksellers.

The Advisory Council was formed as a result of changes to ABA's Bylaws in 1999, which reduced the number of ABA Board members from 20 to nine, and authorized the creation of the BAC, to help ensure that the ABA Board received a full complement of facts, analysis, and viewpoints for its decision-making process.

The list of 2003 - 2004 Booksellers Advisory Council members is available at www.bookweb.org/read/2130.
