Please be aware of spam emails, faxes, and phone calls claiming to help you book housing for the AALAS National Meeting. These hotels are not in the AALAS housing block, and many are much farther away. Use this housing link or send email to housing@atlanta.net to be included in the AALAS block. AALAS does not call or fax you. Ignore email that doesn't come from aalas.org.

Volunteer Opportunity
Volunteers are still needed to facilitate sessions in Atlanta. Responsibilities will vary with each session, but usually include passing out handouts, working with the moderator to ensure that the speaker can be heard at the back of the room, and helping attendees find seats after the session has started. Facilitators do not introduce speakers.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form here.
Atlanta T-Shirts
The Local Arrangements Committee has created a commemorative T-shirt for the 61st National Meeting in Atlanta. Who doesn't want a piano playing mouse on their shirt? They look great and only cost $10 for short sleeve and $15 for long sleeve. To get yours today, click here.
The shirts can be picked up at the Local Arrangements Committee booth with your receipt as verification. Shipping is not available, so please designate someone to get your shirt if you are unable to attend. A small number will be sold at the meeting but don't wait in case you miss out!
