ALAMIDWINTER.ORG | #ALAMW20 3 PRESIDENT'S WELCOME Welcome to the 2020 ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits in Philadelphia! On behalf of ALA, I am so pleased that you have joined us this year! As we move forward in 2020, we can look back to a year of reprioritization and adjustments. Yet, through it all, we have remained empowered and dili- gent, ultimately offering our libraries as true resources for the communities that we serve. The adage of “filling our cup first, in order to give from a place of abundance” is a mes- sage that begs to be communicated again and again, and to that extent our 2020 Midwinter Meeting’s primary mission is to encourage and strengthen us as library workers—and as individuals. One of my first initiatives as ALA President was the launching of “Finding your ALA”, a call to include all voices at the table—a role I take seriously as I stand on the shoulders of previous ALA leaders, who, like me, have been people of color. I look forward to connect- ing students and new library staff with ALA and helping them to find a place within the Association that furthers their careers and their ambitions. Second Chances is also a quest in which I strongly believe. My ALA President’s Program featured speaker, Chef Jeff Henderson(Sun., January 26, 3:30–5:00pm) was imprisoned for drug dealing as a young man. His second chance came when he was sent to work in the prison kitchen after a scuffle. It was there that he not only discovered a love for cooking but resolved to use that passion to become a better version of himself. Our featured speakers are sure to make an impact—so “Prepare to be Encouraged”. Our opening session speaker, Wes Moore (Fri., January 25, 4:00–5:15pm) has, despite childhood challenges, triumphed in life to become an author, business leader, social entrepre- neur, and decorated US Army combat veteran. New author and artist, Chanel Miller (Mon., January 27, 2:00–3:00pm) has taken a tragic experience and given voice to victims around the world. Author and visionary storyteller Echo Brown (Sat., January 25, 9:30- 10:30am) will motivate you as she has at Google, Facebook, and TEDx Talks. Olympic Bronze Medalists and new authors, Maia and Alex Shibutani (Sun., January 26, 9:30–10:30am) will talk about the importance of passion and dedication, and our Arthur Curley Memorial Lecture speaker, Julia Alvarez (Sat., January 25, 1:00–2:00pm) will share her lesson of purpose as a child immigrant who arrived in the United States from the Dominican Republic. The RUSA Book and Media Awards (Sun. January 26, 5:00–7:00pm) and Youth Media Awards (Mon. January 27, 8:00–10:00am) are always well-attended and NEW this year, we will celebrate 10 amazing librarians at the I Love My Librarian! Awards (Sat., January 25, 3:00–4:30pm). We are again offering the most knowledgeable organizations that you can meet with, face-to-face in the Exhibit Hall and you can hear from exciting authors on the PopTop Stage and the Book Buzz Theater. The Exhibit Hall will open immediately after the opening session—be there at 5:30pm for refreshments! PRESIDENT'S WELCOME PRESIDENT'S We’re so happy you’re here and we look forward to celebrating you throughout 2020! So, mark your calendar for June 25–30, because we want to see you again at the 2020 ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in our headquarter city, Chicago!
