摘要

1 President Greg Lambert (Jackson Walker LLP, Houston, Texas): Good afternoon. I am Greg Lambert, Association President, and I am pleased to call to order the 2018 Business Meeting of the American Association of Law Libraries.2 The AALL Bylaws stipulate in Article V, Section 3 that: "... a quorum for a business meeting of the Association shall consist of fifty members registered at that meeting." I am looking around. I see that there is a quorum present. (Applause.)3 Copies of today's agenda, standing rules, and accompanying handouts are available on the meeting app. We are no longer making paper copies available to you, as they are easily accessed on that app. The agenda is also provided to you on the screens on either side of the stage.4 I would like to introduce those present today on the stage with me, beginning on my left, Vice President-Elect, Femi Cadmus. (Applause.) Treasurer, Jean Willis. Secretary, Luis Acosta. Executive Director, Kate Hagan. (Applause.)5 It has been a busy year, and the Executive Board and AALL member entities have worked diligently to meet the goals of our strategic plan. Femi and I would like to provide you with an annual update of what we have accomplished, and things still ahead on our agenda for this year. So, as a result of the branding project, we now have many messages to weave in and out of what we say about AALL, "Your Legal Knowledge Network."
