I am honored to greet you as we kick off our AATSP Centennial celebration! This year’s theme, Building a Pipeline from Classroom to Career, stresses the importance of our field as an integral force in STEAM curriculum and the global communi- ty. We are certain you will find valuable tools and resources relevant to your needs in the workshops, sessions, posters, panels, excursions, exhibits, and connections you will make with your colleagues during the conference. I hope to see you at the President’s Welcome Reception followed by the exhibit opening on Thursday, and the Awards Banquet on Saturday. Please plan on attending both of these events, as well as our annual business meeting on Thursday, and the Plenary Session “Español en el mundo” on Friday. These special events are your chance to connect with the Board of Directors and each other, recognize the accomplishments of your peers, and enjoy a delicious meal, as well as other delights. I also encourage you to take advantage of the time built into our program for perusing the materials and opportunities of our exhibitors. They have graciously sponsored many aspects of our conference, as well as offering you the possibility to see and acquire the latest publi- cations, share ideas in sponsored sessions, and ask them questions about their products and services. We sincerely appreciate all they do. My heartfelt thanks go out to the Program Committee, National Office Staff, members of the Board of Directors, the SHH Advisory Council, the NSE Advisory Council and especially to our Executive Director, Emily Spinelli, as she expertly guides us into this centennial year. Please be sure to share your feedback and gratitude with these amazing people, identified with gold name badges, as you see them around the conference assuring that everyone has a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for joining us this year! AATSP is your organization! I invite you to enhance your experience as a member by considering getting involved with your state chapter, presenting at next year’s conference, nominating worthy members for our awards, and/or apply- ing for scholarships. Tell your colleagues who haven’t attended about our outstanding organization, and what AATSP can do for them!

We have planned this 2017 conference around the theme of Building a Pipeline from Classroom to Careers. Many of the sessions and workshops focus on educational programs that emphasize the use of Spanish or Portuguese in fields such as business, law, medicine, tourism, and translating/interpreting. As part of this year’s program we have included four plenary sessions designed to provide information about the achievements of the AATSP and the language profession. • AATSP programs and publications: Celebrating our achievements will provide an overview of the numerous important endeavors of the AATSP. • Celebrando nuestros logros: el español en el mundo, will deal with the role of the AATSP on an international level and provide information about where and how Spanish is taught around the world. • The plenary on The AAAS Commission Report will focus on the five important recommendations of the Report and their implications for the future. • The final plenary session is devoted to our prestigious academic publication Hispania and will focus on the centenary volume of the journal. In addition to the four plenary sessions, there are more than 260 other conference sessions, workshops and events from which to choose. We have also provided workshops and excursions that take full advantage of the Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian presence in our conference city of Chicago. In closing, I would like to thank each of you for supporting the AATSP and its annual conference. I hope that you enjoy this celebration of our Association’s first 100 years.
