I’d be in favour of a move to LRA for several reasons. It will link better in terms of research which is important for most of us. At ILA, my experience tells me that teachers will never go to a research session if there is something else on that is more practical, which is usually the case at ILA. The timing of LRA is also much better for southern hemisphere. It is hard to get away even for a couple of days in middle of year due to teaching. December is much better time wise, prices to travel are much better, teaching is over.

First, let me echo Judith's Zoom connectivity suggestion. I use it almost daily for collaborative research and writing projects with colleagues around the country and world. Much more stable than its predecessors, skype and google hangout. I'd love to be piped in this year (even at 4 am PDT!@!). Since I use it so much, I bought a regular subscription. I would be happy to host any members who are not attending the Orlando meeting but would like to be connected digitally.
My concern with keeping the meeting attached to ILA has to do with my emerging view there has been a shift in the field of literacy education, which ILA reflects but is not necessarily responsible for. The essence of the shift is research has become just one among many standards that a district, school, or teacher might consult in settling on a policy or practice. But it is just one option that can be invoked to justify what we do in schools.
The profile of research has been difficult to maintain within ILA. I know we have a day of research (the new version of the pre-cons), research awards, and a Literacy Research Panel, but despite efforts by the Board and those responsible for the convention, the truth of the matter is that research sessions just do not attract the numbers that they once did.
Why? I am not sure. Perhaps our research traditions no longer yield policy- and practice-relevant data or stories. Perhaps teacher education isn't nurturing a research- or inquiry-based disposition; or perhaps teachers hear the story but don't buy it.
I just find the ILA program very limited. Hence my vote for connecting the RHF to LRA rather than ILA. And I think that Colin's analysis of what will be needed if we do switch is right on target. And I second Colin's point about international as well.
My two cents worth. I'll chime in again just before the meeting at ILA.

Hi Rita and colleagues
Like Peter, I am now retired, and although I’m still doing some teaching, researching and writing, I receive no funding from my university for any conference attendance, and I won’t be attending ILA in July.
I share Peter’s view that ILA is the most important location in the world reading calendar for bringing together teachers and researchers, but one key consequence of its move to early May to July is that the cost of air fares to the USA from my country has doubled, and that’s not good.
So for a scholar who now attends only one reading conference in the US per year, it has to be LRA for me, and I have the feeling that more RHoF members attend that conference than go to ILA.
So I would encourage RHoF members to press ahead with, in order of priority (a) seeking agreement from the membership for the change of allegiance fro LIA to LRA (b) it that’s agreed, seeking agreement from the membership on the best time close to or within the conference to meet, and (c) if that’s agreed, aiming to submit proposals that are strong enough to gain at least one symposium slot.
Those who attend LRA are aware that that association is seeking to build up its already very active international profile, and in my view this is another factor in favour of our seriously considering a switch of allegiance.
However, I am aware that there would be losses as well as gains if we made the switch, and I look forward to hearing the views and arguments of other colleagues.
Best regards
Colin

Hello Rita and colleagues
I won't be able to attend these breakfasts for the foreseeable future, as retirement takes its natural course and my consultancy accounts dry up; so, formally at least, I don't have a view on the issue of the location of the RHoF gatherings.
Having said that, I'd add that an important prior question might relate to the perceived function of 'The Hall' - I see one of its primary roles as reinforcing the connection between classroom practitioners and reading researchers - a visible bridge between these groups. 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.
I wish you all well.
Best regards,
Peter

Thanks, Rita. I had forgotten about the plan for discussing the issue in the summer.
Could those of us who are not attending ILA (first absence ever, since I started attending as a grad student in 1969) share our views in print prior to the meeting?

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.
Thank you for your feedback as we move through this decision making process.
Rita Bean

Thanks for the update, Rita.
Have there been any further conversations about changing our annual meeting venue to LRA rather than ILA?
Just curious. There seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm for just such a shift in the earlier round of discussions.
