This spring, American Booksellers Association senior staff and representatives of the Board of Directors will meet with booksellers at nine forums across the country. Held in conjunction with the regional booksellers associations, the Booksellers Forums are an opportunity for members, and prospective members, to hear the latest news about ABA's programs and initiatives, to voice concerns, and to offer input on the association's future direction. Each forum will also feature an educational component.
"We hope every ABA member will make plans to attend a Booksellers Forum," said the association's COO, Oren Teicher. "These informal gatherings are great networking opportunities, as well as important venues for the exchange of information about issues of concern to all booksellers."
Program details, which are still taking shape, will be announced in upcoming editions of Bookselling This Week
