Greetings,
Like Peter and Collin, I have also transitioned from university teaching and such. I wonder if we might consider trying a new Platform, ZOOM at the breakfast to engage with those who are attending the breakfast f2f. This is a free APP and allows a stable and flexible approach where you can share desktop, show videos, record, have chats without any cost. !-50 people can participate free for 40 minutes and then after that at a low cost. Might bring our international and national folks to the meetings without having to go to the conference itself.
Just a thought. If you are interested in explore this, I am happy to link through zoom to explore its capacity and ease.
Perhaps its time to broaden the dialogues in this way.

In that light, and independently of any of the administrative aspects of moving versus staying, I'd be predisposed to stay with ILA, even if that means some stern negotiations with its executive.

>>> Hi David, You raised a question about the potential move of the Reading Hall of Fame Annual Induction/Breakfast meeting and our presentation session from ILA to LRA. Below, I have copied my email of November 20, 2016 ( sent to all members). Two important points: The Executive Board (a) asked members to think about the logistics of the move (given LRA guidelines and requirements), and (b) suggested we discuss the move at the summer meeting. Please take the time to read the email below - and if you have any comments, send to membership. I will collect/collate them and have them ready for discussion at our summer meeting. Rita

>>> Email sent to membership on 11/20/16 from Rita Bean
>>> Recently, the Executive Board sent an informal survey to you, asking for your input about a possible move of the annual meeting from the ILA conference to the LRA conference. Of the 51 members voting, 62% indicated an interest in moving from ILA to LRA (reasons included time of year, expense, research focus of LRA). Ray Reutzel, Vice-President, RHF, and I then sought information from LRA to get some idea of what it might mean for us if we made the move and wanted to schedule both our annual induction meeting and a session at which our recent inductees might make presentations. We identified the following as issues that would need to be resolved
>>>
>>> All presentations for the LRA conference must be vetted--according to LRA Board policy Changing this policy would require LRA Board action; we would need to submit a proposal for our presentation session (We are guaranteed a slot at ILA for the presentation session of recent inductees).
>>>
>>> Our annual induction meeting would need to be scheduled when it did not conflict with meeting times --so a 7:30 a.m. breakfast might not be feasible -- we might have to consider other options (e.g., evening meeting on Tuesday before the conference begins)
>>>
>>> We would need to work with LRA in terms of arranging for our annual induction meeting (food services, etc.). To this date, ILA has worked closely with the RHF treasurer. They handled the arrangements, the menu, etc.
>>>
>>> All of these issues can be addressed, of course -- but before we make a decision, the RHF Executive Board is recommending the following:
>>>
>>>
>>> REC 1. Provide opportunities for conversation about this possible move on the RHF listserv. We encourage you to make your views known, especially as related to the issues identified above. It would also be helpful if you would think about some possible solutions to these issues (e.g., If we can't get a guaranteed slot for our presentations by recent inductees, do we eliminate that - and just have our annual meeting/induction meeting? Should we identify a RHF member to handle the induction meeting arrangements, work with the hotel to arrange for breakfast, etc., Make a formal proposal to LRA Board with our request - and then make a decision based on their response)
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> REC 2. Hold in-depth discussion of the possible move from ILA to LRA at our annual meeting in July, 2017. There we can summarize the results of the listserv discussion, discuss pros and cons, and have a vote on this issue (if recommended, we can also hold the vote electronically, once a motion has been made at the annual meeting). If there is a decision to move the annual meeting/presentations to LRA, we would also need to develop a timeline for the move.
