While many of us are winging out way to Fort Worth in the coming days, others are already looking ahead to ARLIS/NA conferences in coming years. I am very pleased to announce that the ARLIS/NA Executive Board recently approved the Southeast Chapter's proposal to host our 2017 conference in New Orleans! Their 'Arts du Monde' theme captures a world of arts interests and will welcome our members and guests from around the world to this fabulous host city. The conference will be organized by Program Co-chairs Kaisia Leousis and Kim Collins and Local Arrangement Co-chairs Marty Miller and Kathy Edwards. And don't forget, March 2016 will find is in Seattle for the ARLIS/NA-VRA Joint Conference! Conference Co-chairs Alan Michelson and Josh Polansky are already actively planning an exciting program for us there, taking advantage of the 'Natural Connections' between ARLIS/NA and VRA, the city and the breath-taking urban and natural landscapes of Seattle. Please join us on Sunday, March 22nd for their presentation at the ARLIS/NA Membership Meeting. Until then, safe travels to y'all and see you in Fort Worth!
